\q1
|
|
\v 1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and lean on horses,
|
|
\q1 and trust in chariots (for they are many) and in horsemen (for they are countless).
|
|
\q1 But they are not concerned about the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Yahweh!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Yet he is wise, and he will bring disaster and will not retract his words.
|
|
\q1 He will arise against the evil house and against the helpers of those who commit sin.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 Egypt is a man and not God, their horses flesh and not spirit.
|
|
\q1 When Yahweh reaches out with his hand, both the one who helps will stumble, and the one who is helped will fall; both will perish together.
|

\q1
|
|
\v 4 This is what Yahweh says to me,
|
|
\q1 "As a lion, even a young lion, growls over its torn prey,
|
|
\q1 when a group of shepherds is called out against it,
|
|
\q1 but it does not tremble at their voices, nor creep away from their sound;
|
|
\q1 thus Yahweh of hosts will descend to fight on Mount Zion, on that hill.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Like birds in flight, so Yahweh of hosts will protect Jerusalem;
|
|
\q1 he will protect and rescue as he passes over it and preserves it.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Return to him from whom you have deeply turned away, people of Israel.
|
|
\v 7 For in that day each one will get rid of his idols of silver
|
|
\q1 and his idols of gold that your own hands have sinfully made.
|
|

\q1
|
|
\v 8 Assyria will fall by the sword; a sword not wielded by man will consume him.
|
|
\q1 He will flee from the sword, and his young men will be forced to do hard labor.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 They will lose all confidence because of terror, and his princes will be afraid at the sight of Yahweh's battle flag—
|
|
\q1 this is Yahweh's declaration—whose fire is in Zion and whose firepot is in Jerusalem."
