Help Not in Egypt but in God

31 Woe to those who go down to (A)Egypt for help

And trust in chariots because they are many
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But they do not (C)look to the (D)Holy One of Israel, nor seek the Lord!

And their (B)horses are flesh and not spirit;
So the Lord will (C)stretch out His hand,
And (D)he who helps will stumble
And he who is helped will fall,
And all of them will come to an end together.

And a breath will take them away.
But he who (B)takes refuge in Me will (C)inherit the land
And will (D)possess My holy mountain.”
