* Woe to those that go down to Egypt for help ; and trust in horses and place their hope in chariots because [they are ] many and in horsemen , because they are valiant , but they did not look unto the Holy One of Israel , neither did they seek the LORD ! * Yet he also [is ] wise to guide evil and will not cause his words to lie but will arise against the house of the evildoers and against the help of those that work iniquity . * Now the Egyptian is a man , and not God and his horses flesh , and not spirit , so that as the LORD shall stretch out his hand , both he that helps shall fall , and he that is helped shall fall down , and they shall all fail together . * For thus has the LORD spoken unto me , Like the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey , even if a multitude of shepherds come forth against him , [he ] will not be afraid of their voices , nor abase himself for the noise of them : so shall the LORD of the hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion and for his hill . * As birds flying , so will the LORD of the hosts defend Jerusalem ; defending , delivering , passing over , and saving [it ]. * Turn ye unto him against whom [ye ] have deeply revolted , O sons of Israel . * 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 as a sin . * Then the Assyrian shall fall by the sword , not of a mighty man ; and the sword , not of a mean man , shall devour him : but he shall flee from the presence of the sword , and his young men shall faint . * And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear , and his princes shall be afraid of the banner , saith the LORD , unto whom [there is ] fire in Zion , and unto whom [there is a ] furnace in Jerusalem .:
