ULT ISA Chapter 31

◄ ISA 31 ► ║ ©

31 Woe, who go down to Egypt for help,

who rely on horses,

and trust in chariots that are many

and in horsemen that are very countless,

but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel,

and Yahweh they do not seek!

2 But he, too, is wise, and he will bring harm

and will not retract his words.

And he will arise against the evil house

and against the helpers of sin-doers.

3 And Egypt is a man and not God,

and their horses flesh and not spirit.

And Yahweh will reach out his hand,

and the helper will stumble,

and the helped will fall,

and together all of them will perish.

4 For thus says Yahweh to me,

“As a lion growls,

or a young lion over its prey,

when a group of shepherds

is called out against it,

it is not afraid at their voice,

and does not cower at their clamor—

thus Yahweh of hosts will descend

to muster on Mount Zion and on its hill.

5 Like birds flying,

so Yahweh of hosts will guard over Jerusalem;

protecting and rescuing,

sparing and preserving.”

6 Return to whom you have deeply turned away from, sons of Israel. 7 For on that day a man will reject his idols of silver and his idols of gold which your hands have made for yourselves as sin.

8 “And Assyria will fall by a sword not of man,

and a sword not of mankind will consume him.

And he will flee from the face of the sword

and his young men will be for forced labor.

9 And his rock will pass away at the terror,

and his princes will be afraid at the banner”

—the declaration of Yahweh,

who has fire in Zion,

and has a furnace in Jerusalem.
