For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose; therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.

For the Egyptians H4714 shall help H5826 (QalImpf) in vain, H1892 and to no purpose: H7385 therefore have I cried H7121 (QalPerf) concerning this, H2063 Their H1992 strength H7293 [is] to sit still. H7674

When you cry, let those whom you have gathered deliver you, but the wind will take them. A breath will carry them all away, but he who takes refuge in me will possess the land, and will inherit my holy mountain.”

When thou criest, H2199 (QalInf) let thy companies H6899 deliver H5337 (HiphImpf) thee; but the wind H7307 shall carry them all away; H5375 (QalImpf) vanity H1892 shall take H3947 (QalImpf) [them]: but he that putteth his trust H2620 (QalActPtc) in me shall possess H5157 (QalImpf) the land, H776 and shall inherit H3423 (QalImpf) my holy H6944 mountain; H2022

ταδε λεγει κυριος τι ευροσαν οι πατερες υμων εν εμοι πλημμελημα οτι απεστησαν μακραν απ εμου και επορευθησαν οπισω των ματαιων και εματαιωθησαν

H6726 [is] not her king H4428 in her? Why have they provoked me to anger H3707 (HiphPerf) with their graven images, H6456 [and] with strange H5236 vanities? H1892

ιδου φωνη κραυγης θυγατρος λαου μου απο γης μακροθεν μη κυριος ουκ εστιν εν σιων η βασιλευς ουκ εστιν εκει δια τι παρωργισαν με εν τοις γλυπτοις αυτων και εν ματαιοις αλλοτριοις

^[2:9] φυλασσομενοι ματαια και ψευδη ελεος αυτων εγκατελιπον

For the teraphim° have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
