* Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help ; and stay on horses , and trust in chariots , because they are many ; and in horsemen , because they are very strong ; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel Yisra #el #, neither seek the LORD ! * Yet he also is wise , and will bring evil , and will not call back his words : but will arise against the house of the evildoers , and against the help of them that work iniquity . * Now the Egyptians are men , and not God ; and their horses flesh , and not spirit . When the LORD shall stretch out his hand , both he that helpeth shall fall , and he that is holpen shall fall down , and they all shall fail together . * For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me , Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey , when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him , he will not be afraid of their voice , nor abase himself for the noise of them : so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion , and for the hill thereof . * As birds flying , so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem ; defending also he will deliver it ; and passing over he will preserve it .
