* Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help , and rely on horses , and trust in chariots , because they are many , and in horsemen , because they are exceeding mighty ; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel , neither seek the LORD ! * Yet He also is wise , and bringeth evil , and doth not call back His words ; but will arise against the house of the evil-doers , and against the help of them that work iniquity . * Now the Egyptians are men , and not God , and their horses flesh , and not spirit ; so when the LORD shall stretch out His hand , both he that helpeth shall stumble , and he that is helped shall fall , and they all shall perish together . * For thus saith the LORD unto me : Like as the lion , or the young lion , growling over his prey , though a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him , will not be dismayed at their voice , nor abase himself for the noise of them ; so will the LORD of hosts come down to fight upon mount Zion , and upon the hill thereof . * As birds hovering , so will the LORD of hosts protect Jerusalem ; He will deliver it as He protecteth it , He will rescue it as He passeth over . * Turn ye unto Him against whom ye have deeply rebelled , O children of Israel . * For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver , and his idols of gold , which your own hands have made unto you for a sin . * Then shall Asshur fall with the sword , not of man , and the sword , not of men , shall devour him ; and he shall flee from the sword , and his young men shall become tributary . * And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror , and his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign , saith the LORD , whose fire is in Zion , and His furnace in Jerusalem .
