Isaiah
Chapter 31
{See
also Ezekiel 17:15 and Jeremiah 27}
1~~
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help.
And
depend on horses, and trust in chariots,
because
they are many.
And in horsemen because they are very strong.
But
they look not unto the Holy One of Israel,
neither
seek the Jehovah/God!
2~~
Yet He also is wise,
and
will bring evil
{5th cycle of discipline},
and
will not call back
His
words/'doctrinal communications' {dabar}
{will not change His Mind},
but
will arise against the house of the evildoers,
and
against the help of them that work iniquity.
3~~Now the Egyptians are men, and not God!
And
their horses are flesh,
and
not spirit!
When
the Jehovah/God shall stretch out His hand,
both
he that helps shall fall,
and
he that is helped shall fall down,
and
they all shall fail together.
4
For thus has the Jehovah/God spoken unto me,
Like
as the lion
and
the young lion roaring on his prey,
when
a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him,
he
will not be afraid of their voice,
nor
abase himself for the noise of them.
So
shall the Jehovah/God of the armies/armies/hosts
come
down to fight for mount Zion,
and
for the hill thereof.
5
As birds flying,
so
will the Jehovah/God of the armies/hosts
defend
Jerusalem.
Defending also He will deliver it.
And passing over He will preserve it.
6
Turn you unto Him from Whom
the
children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7
For in that day
every
man shall cast away his idols of silver,
and
his idols of gold,
which
your own hands have made
unto
you for a sin.
8
Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword,
not
of a mighty man.
And
the sword, not of a mean man,
shall
devour him.
But
he shall flee from the sword,
and
his young men shall be discomfited.
9
And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear,
and
his princes shall be afraid of the ensign,
said
the Jehovah/God,
whose
fire is in Zion,
and
his furnace in Jerusalem.
