Help Not in Egypt but in God

31 Woe to those who go down to (A)Egypt for help
And (B)rely on horses,
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 any (D)helper will stumble,
And one who is helped will fall.
And all of them will come to an end together.

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

And whose heart turns away from the Lord.
