* Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help , and depend on horses , and confide in chariots because [they are ] many , and in horsemen because they are very strong ; and who look not unto the Holy One of Israel , neither seek Jehovah ! * But he also is wise , and he bringeth evil , and recalleth not his words ; and he will arise against the house of evildoers , and against the help of workers of iniquity . * And the Egyptians are men , and not �God , and their horses flesh , and not spirit ; and Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand , and he that helpeth shall stumble , and he that is helped shall fall , and they all shall perish together . * For thus hath Jehovah said unto me : Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey , when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him , is not afraid of their voice , nor giveth way before the multitude of them ; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion , and on the hill thereof . * As birds with outstretched wings , so will Jehovah of hosts cover Jerusalem ; covering , he will also deliver , passing over , he will rescue [it ]. * Turn unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted , ye children of Israel ; * for in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold , which your sinful hands have made unto you . * And Asshur shall fall by the sword , not of a great man ; and the sword , not of a mean man , shall devour him : and he shall flee from the sword , and his young men shall become tributary ; * and for fear , he shall pass over to his rock , and his princes shall be afraid of the banner , saith Jehovah , whose fire is in Zion , and his furnace in Jerusalem .
