1Woe to those who go down to Egypt to be helped, and they trust upon horses, and they trust upon many chariots and upon horsemen, because they are very strong, and they have not trusted on The Holy One of Israel, and they have not sought LORD JEHOVAH!

2And in His wisdom he brought evil and he did not remove his words, and stood against the house of the afflicted and against the help of the workers of evil

3And the Egyptians are men and they are not gods, and their horses are of flesh and they are not of spirit, and LORD JEHOVAH shall stretch out his hand, and the helper shall be overthrown and also he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall come to an end as one

4Because thus said LORD JEHOVAH to me: “As a lion and the cub of a lion roars over whatever it has broken, and a multitude of Shepherds are shouting at it, and it is not afraid of their voice, and is not shaken by their multitude; in this way LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts shall descend to exert strength on the Mountain of Zion and upon its hill

5As a bird that flies, so LORD JEHOVAH of Hosts shall come down on Jerusalem; he shall come down and he shall save and he shall relieve and he shall help

6Return, children of Israel, for you have made the discipline severe! 7Because in that day men shall cast away the idols of silver and of gold, the sin that your hands made for you

8And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword, a sword not of men, and a sword not of giants, shall devour him, and he will flee for himself from before the sword, and his young men shall be for standards

9And he shall leave the cliffs of his dwelling and they shall be defeated before the standards of his Princes, says LORD JEHOVAH, whose fire is in Zion and his furnace in Jerusalem
