31 O how bad it will be for you who look to the south
    to Egypt for help and depend on her horses,
Who trust in its many chariots and fix your hopes on its strong drivers.
    Yet you do not look to the Holy One of Israel for relief
    or even bother to consult Him.
God is both wise and willing to wreak disaster;
    He does not second guess Himself or backtrack on what He says.
God will amass all divine power against those who do evil
    and against whoever aids and abets them.

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

but do not look to the Holy One(E) of Israel,
    or seek help from the Lord.(F)
Yet he too is wise(G) and can bring disaster;(H)

He will rise up against that wicked nation,(J)
    against those who help evildoers.
