1. Wo to those going down to Egypt for help, And on horses lean, And trust on chariots, because many, And on horsemen, because very strong, And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought.
|
1. Woe H1945 to them that go down H3381 to Egypt H4714 for help H5833 ; and stay H8172 on H5921 horses H5483 , and trust H982 in H5921 chariots H7393 , because H3588 they are many H7227 ; and in H5921 horsemen H6571 , because H3588 they are very strong H6105 H3966 ; but they look H8159 not H3808 unto H5921 the Holy One H6918 of Israel H3478 , neither H3808 seek H1875 the LORD H3068 !

2. And He also is wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of evil doers, And against the help of workers of iniquity.
|
2. Yet he H1931 also H1571 is wise H2450 , and will bring H935 evil H7451 , and will not H3808 call back H5493 his words H1697 : but will arise H6965 against H5921 the house H1004 of the evildoers H7489 , and against H5921 the help H5833 of them that work H6466 iniquity H205 .

3. And the Egyptians are men, and not God, And their horses are flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.
|
3. Now the Egyptians H4714 are men H120 , and not H3808 God H410 ; and their horses H5483 flesh H1320 , and not H3808 spirit H7307 . When the LORD H3068 shall stretch out H5186 his hand H3027 , both he that helpeth H5826 shall fall H3782 , and he that is helped H5826 shall fall down H5307 , and they all H3605 shall fail H3615 together H3162 .

4. For thus said Jehovah unto me: `As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.
|
4. For H3588 thus H3541 hath the LORD H3068 spoken H559 unto H413 me , Like as H834 the lion H738 and the young lion H3715 roaring H1897 on H5921 his prey H2964 , when H834 a multitude H4393 of shepherds H7462 is called forth H7121 against H5921 him, he will not H3808 be afraid H2865 of their voice H4480 H6963 , nor H3808 abase H6031 himself for the noise H4480 H1995 of them: so H3651 shall the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 come down H3381 to fight H6633 for H5921 mount H2022 Zion H6726 , and for H5921 the hill H1389 thereof.

5. As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.`
|
5. As birds H6833 flying H5774 , so H3651 will the LORD H3068 of hosts H6635 defend H1598 H5921 Jerusalem H3389 ; defending H1598 also he will deliver H5337 it; and passing over H6452 he will preserve H4422 it.

6. Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostacy.
|
6. Turn H7725 ye unto him from whom H834 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have deeply H6009 revolted H5627 .
|
|
7. For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you -- a sin.
|
7. For H3588 in that H1931 day H3117 every man H376 shall cast away H3988 his idols H457 of silver H3701 , and his idols H457 of gold H2091 , which H834 your own hands H3027 have made H6213 unto you for a sin H2399 .
|
|
8. And fallen hath Asshur by sword, not of the high, Yea, a sword -- not of the low, doth consume him, And he hath fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary.
|
8. Then shall the Assyrian H804 fall H5307 with the sword H2719 , not H3808 of a mighty man H376 ; and the sword H2719 , not H3808 of a mean man H120 , shall devour H398 him : but he shall flee H5127 from H4480 H6440 the sword H2719 , and his young men H970 shall be H1961 discomfited H4522 .
|
|
9. And to his rock from fear he passeth on, And affrighted by the ensign have been his princes -- an affirmation of Jehovah, Who hath a light in Zion, And who hath a furnace in Jerusalem!
|
9. And he shall pass over H5674 to his stronghold H5553 for fear H4480 H4032 , and his princes H8269 shall be afraid H2865 of the ensign H4480 H5251 , saith H5002 the LORD H3068 , whose H834 fire H217 is in Zion H6726 , and his furnace H8574 in Jerusalem H3389 .
