World English Bible Classic
[1] Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help,
and rely on horses,
and trust in chariots because they are many,
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel,
and they don’t seek Yahweh!
[2] Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster,
and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers,
and against the help of those who work iniquity.
[3] Now the Egyptians are men, and not God;
and their horses flesh, and not spirit.
When Yahweh stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble,
and he who is helped shall fall,
and they all shall be consumed together. [4] For Yahweh says to me,
“As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey,
if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him,
will not be dismayed at their voice,
nor abase himself for their noise,
so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.
[5] As birds hovering, so Yahweh of Armies will protect Jerusalem.
He will protect and deliver it.
He will pass over and preserve it.”
[6] Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel. [7] For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you. [8] “The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man;
and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him.
He will flee from the sword,
and his young men will become subject to forced labor.
[9] His rock will pass away by reason of terror,
and his princes will be afraid of the banner,”
says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion,
and his furnace in Jerusalem.
King James Version
[1] Woe H1945 to them that go down H3381 to Egypt H4714 for H3588 help; H5833 and stay H8172 on H5921 horses, H5483 and trust H982 in chariots, H7393 because they are many; H7227 and in horsemen, H6571 because H3588 they are very H3966 strong; H6105 but they look H8159 not H3808 unto the Holy One H6918 of Israel, H3478 neither seek H1875 the Lord! H3068 [2] Yet he also is wise, H2450 and will bring H935 evil, H7451 and will not call back H5493§ his words: H1697 but will arise H6965 against H5921 the house H1004 of the evildoers, H7489 and against the help H5833 of them that work H6466 iniquity. H205 [3] Now the Egyptians H4714 are men, H120 and not God; H410 and their horses H5483 flesh, H1320 and not 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 holpen H5826 shall fall down, H5307 and they all shall fail H3615 together. H3162 [4] For thus hath the Lord H3068 spoken H559 unto H413 me, Like as the lion H738 and the young lion H3715 roaring H1897 on H5921 his prey, H2964 when a multitude H4393 of shepherds H7462 is called forth H7121 against him, he will not be afraid H2865 of their voice, H6963 nor abase H6031 himself for the noise H1995§ of them: so shall the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 come down H3381 to fight H6633 for mount H2022 Zion, H6726 and for the hill H1389 thereof. [5] As birds H6833 flying, H5774 so H3651 will the Lord H3068 of hosts H6635 defend H1598 Jerusalem; H3389 defending H1598 also he will deliver H5337 it; and passing over H6452 he will preserve H4422 it. [6] Turn H7725 ye unto him from whom the children H1121 of Israel H3478 have deeply H6009 revolted. H5627 [7] For H3588 in that 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] 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 H6440 the sword, H2719§ and his young men H970 shall be discomfited. H4522§ [9] And he shall pass over H5674 to his strong hold H5553 for fear, H4032§ and his princes H8269 shall be afraid H2865 of the ensign, H5251 saith H5002 the Lord, H3068 whose H834 fire H217 is in Zion, H6726 and his furnace H8574 in Jerusalem. H3389

G622 [4] Ὅτι G3754 οὕτως G3779 εἶπέν G2036 μοι G3427 κύριος G2962 Ὃν G3739 τρόπον G5158 ἐὰν G1437 βοήσῃ G994 ὁ G3588 λέων G3023 ἢ G2228 ὁ G3588 σκύμνος ἐπὶ G1909 τῇ G3588 θήρᾳ, G2339 ᾗ G3739 ἔλαβεν, G2983 καὶ G2532 κεκράξῃ G2896 ἐπ’ G1909 αὐτῇ, G846 ἕως G2193 ἂν G302 ἐμπλησθῇ G1705 τὰ G3588 ὄρη G3735 τῆς G3588 φωνῆς G5456 αὐτοῦ, G846 καὶ G2532 ἡττήθησαν G2274 καὶ G2532 τὸ G3588 πλῆθος G4128 τοῦ G3588 θυμοῦ G2372 ἐπτοήθησαν, G4422 οὕτως G3779 καταβήσεται G2597 κύριος G2962 σαβαωθ G4519 ἐπιστρατεῦσαι ἐπὶ G1909 τὸ G3588 ὄρος G3735 τὸ G3588 Σιων G4622 ἐπὶ G1909 τὰ G3588 ὄρη G3735 αὐτῆς. G846 [5] Ὡς G5613 ὄρνεα G3732 πετόμενα, G4072 οὕτως G3779 ὑπερασπιεῖ κύριος G2962 ὑπὲρ G5228 Ιερουσαλημ G2419 καὶ G2532 ἐξελεῖται G1807 καὶ G2532 περιποιήσεται G4046 καὶ G2532 σώσει. G4982 [6] Ἐπιστράφητε, G1994 οἱ G3588 τὴν G3588 βαθεῖαν G901 βουλὴν G1012 βουλευόμενοι G1011 καὶ G2532 ἄνομον.

Τάδε G3592 λέγει G3004 κύριος G2962 Μακάριος G3107 ὃς G3739 ἔχει G2192 ἐν G1722 Σιων G4622 σπέρμα G4690 καὶ G2532 οἰκείους G3609 ἐν G1722 Ιερουσαλημ. G2419
