31:1 Woe
to
those
who
go
down
to
Egypt
for
help
and
rely
on
horses,
who
trust
in
chariots
because
they
are
many
and
in
horsemen
because
they
are
very
strong,
but
do
not
look
to
the
Holy
One
of
Israel
or
consult
the
LORD!
31:2 And
yet
he
is
wise
and
brings
disaster;
he
does
not
call
back
his
words,
but
will
arise
against
the
house
of
the
evildoers
and
against
the
helpers
of
those
who
work
iniquity.
31:3 The
Egyptians
are
man,
and
not
God,
and
their
horses
are
flesh,
and
not
spirit.
When
the
LORD
stretches
out
his
hand,
the
helper
will
stumble,
and
he
who
is
helped
will
fall,
and
they
will
all
perish
together.
31:4 For
thus
the
LORD
said
to
me,
"As
a
lion
or
a
young
lion
growls
over
his
prey,
and
when
a
band
of
shepherds
is
called
out
against
him
he
is
not
terrified
by
their
shouting
or
daunted
at
their
noise,
so
the
LORD
of
hosts
will
come
down
to
fight
on
Mount
Zion
and
on
its
hill.
31:5 Like
birds
hovering,
so
the
LORD
of
hosts
will
protect
Jerusalem;
he
will
protect
and
deliver
it;
he
will
spare
and
rescue
it."
31:6 Turn
to
him
from
whom
people
have
deeply
revolted,
O
children
of
Israel.
31:7 For
in
that
day
everyone
shall
cast
away
his
idols
of
silver
and
his
idols
of
gold,
which
your
hands
have
sinfully
made
for
you.
31:8 "And
the
Assyrian
shall
fall
by
a
sword,
not
of
man;
and
a
sword,
not
of
man,
shall
devour
him;
and
he
shall
flee
from
the
sword,
and
his
young
men
shall
be
put
to
forced
labor.
31:9 His
rock
shall
pass
away
in
terror,
and
his
officers
desert
the
standard
in
panic,"
declares
the
LORD,
whose
fire
is
in
Zion,
and
whose
furnace
is
in
Jerusalem.
