Chapter 31

Forbidden Alliance with Egypt

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
    and who rely on horses,
who place their trust in a large number of chariots
    and in the great strength of their horsemen,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel
    or seek the Lord’s guidance.
Yet he, too, is wise and can bring disaster,
    and he does not take back his threats.
He will rise up against the house of the wicked
    and against those who come to the support of evildoers.

    he does not take back his words.(I)
He will rise up against that wicked nation,(J)
    against those who help evildoers.
