LSV ISA Chapter 31

◄ ISA 31 ► ║ ©

31 Woe [to] those going down to Egypt for help,
And [who] lean on horses,
And trust on chariots, because [they are] many,
And on horsemen, because [they are] very strong,
And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel,
And have not sought YHWH. 2 And He [is] also wise, and brings in evil,
And He has not turned aside His words,
And He has risen against a house of evildoers,
And against the help of workers of iniquity. 3 And the Egyptians [are men], and not God,
And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit,
And YHWH stretches out His hand,
And the helper has stumbled,
And the helped one has fallen,
And together all of them are consumed. 4 For thus said YHWH to me: “As the lion and the young lion growl over his prey,
Against whom a multitude of shepherds is called,
He is not frightened from their voice,
And he is not humbled from their noise; So YHWH of Hosts comes down
To war on Mount Zion, and on her height. 5 As birds flying, so does YHWH of Hosts
Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering,
Passing over, and causing to escape.” 6 Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel
Have deepened apostasy. 7 For in that day each despises His idols of silver, and his idols of gold,
That your hands made to you—a sin. 8 And Asshur has fallen by sword, not of the high,
Indeed, a sword—not of the low, consumes him,
And he has fled for himself from the face of a sword,
And his young men become tributary. 9 And he passes on [to] his rock from fear,
And his princes have been frightened by the ensign—a declaration of YHWH,
Who has a light in Zion,
And who has a furnace in Jerusalem!
