Isaiah 31:1-3
Names of God Bible
The Lord, Not the Egyptians, Will Protect His People from Assyria
31 How horrible it will be for those
who go to Egypt for help,
who rely on horses,
who depend on many chariots,
who depend on very strong war horses.
They don’t look to Qedosh Yisrael.
They don’t seek Yahweh.
2 He is wise and can bring about disaster.
He doesn’t take back his words.
He rises against wicked people
and against those who help troublemakers.
3 The Egyptians are humans, not gods.
Their horses are flesh and blood, not spirit.
When Yahweh uses his powerful hand,
the one who gives help will stumble,
and the one who receives help will fall.
Both will die together.
