31 Sa aba nila na nagsisilusong sa Egipto na humihinging tulong, at nagsisiasa sa mga kabayo; at nagsisitiwala sa mga karo, sapagka't marami, at sa mga mangangabayo, sapagka't mga totoong napakalakas; nguni't hindi sila nagsisitiwala sa Banal ng Israel, o hinahanap man ang Panginoon!

Gayon ma'y siya'y pantas, at magdadala ng kasamaan, at hindi iuurong ang kaniyang mga salita, kundi babangon laban sa bahay ng mga manggagawa ng kasamaan, at laban sa tulong nila na nagsisigawa ng kasamaan.

Ang mga Egipcio nga ay mga tao, at hindi Dios; at ang kanilang mga kabayo ay laman, at hindi diwa: at pagka iuunat ng Panginoon ang kaniyang kamay, siyang tumutulong ay matitisod, at gayon din siyang tinutulungan ay mabubuwal, at silang lahat ay mangalilipol na magkakasama.

Sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon sa akin, Kung paano na ang leon at ang batang leon ay umuungal sa kaniyang huli, pagka ang karamihan ng mga pastor ay nagpipisan laban sa kaniya, na hindi siya matatakot sa kanilang tinig, o maduduwag man dahil sa ingay nila: gayon bababa ang Panginoon ng mga hukbo sa bundok ng Sion, at sa burol niyaon upang makipaglaban.

Gaya ng mga ibong nagsisilipad gayon aampunin ng Panginoon ng mga hukbo ang Jerusalem; yao'y kaniyang aampunin at ililigtas, siya'y daraan at iingatan niya,

Kayo'y manumbalik sa kaniya na inyong pinanghimagsikan lubha, Oh mga anak ni Israel.

Sapagka't sa araw na yaon ay itatapon ng bawa't tao ang kaniyang mga diosdiosang pilak, at ang kaniyang mga diosdiosang ginto, na ginawa ng inyong sariling mga kamay, sa ganang inyo ay naging kasalanan,

Kung magkagayo'y mabubuwal ang taga Asiria sa pamamagitan ng tabak, na hindi sa tao: at ang tabak, na hindi sa mga tao, lalamon sa kaniya: at kaniyang tatakasan ang tabak, at ang kaniyang mga binata ay magiging mamumuwis.

At ang kaniyang malaking bato ay lalagpasan, dahil sa kakilabutan, at ang kaniyang mga pangulo ay masisindak sa watawat, sabi ng Panginoon, na ang kaniyang apoy ay nasa Sion, at ang kaniyang hurno ay nasa Jerusalem.

Woe to Those Who Rely on Egypt

31 Woe(A) to those who go down to Egypt(B) for help,
    who rely on horses,(C)
who trust in the multitude of their chariots(D)
    and in the great strength of their horsemen,
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 does not take back his words.(I)
He will rise up against that wicked nation,(J)
    against those who help evildoers.
But the Egyptians(K) are mere mortals and not God;(L)
    their horses(M) are flesh and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,(N)
    those who help will stumble,
    those who are helped(O) will fall;
    all will perish together.(P)

This is what the Lord says to me:

“As a lion(Q) growls,
    a great lion over its prey—
and though a whole band of shepherds(R)
    is called together against it,
it is not frightened by their shouts
    or disturbed by their clamor(S)
so the Lord Almighty will come down(T)
    to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Like birds hovering(U) overhead,
    the Lord Almighty will shield(V) Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver(W) it,
    he will ‘pass over’(X) it and will rescue it.”

Return,(Y) you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted(Z) against. For in that day(AA) every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold(AB) your sinful hands have made.(AC)

“Assyria(AD) will fall by no human sword;
    a sword, not of mortals, will devour(AE) them.
They will flee before the sword
    and their young men will be put to forced labor.(AF)
Their stronghold(AG) will fall because of terror;
    at the sight of the battle standard(AH) their commanders will panic,(AI)
declares the Lord,
    whose fire(AJ) is in Zion,
    whose furnace(AK) is in Jerusalem.

Doom to those going to Egypt

31 Doom to those going down to Egypt for help!
    They rely on horses,
    trust in chariots because they are many,
    and on riders because they are very strong.
But they don’t look to the holy one of Israel;
    they don’t seek the Lord.
But God also knows how to bring disaster;
    he has not taken back his words.
God will rise up against the house of evildoers
    and against the help of those who do wrong.
Egypt is human and not divine;
    their horses are flesh and not spirit.
The Lord will extend his hand;
    the helper will stumble,
    those helped will fall,
    and they will all die together.

The Lord has said to me:
When the lion growls,
    the young lion, over its prey,
    though a band of shepherds is summoned against it,
    isn’t scared off by their noise
    or frightened by their roar.
So the Lord of heavenly forces will go down
    to fight on Mount Zion and on her hill.
Like birds flying aloft,
    so the Lord of heavenly forces will shield Jerusalem:
    shielding and saving, sparing and rescuing.

People of Israel, return to the one whom you have deeply betrayed! On that day, you will each reject the idols of silver and the idols of gold, which you have sinfully made for yourselves.

Assyria will fall, but not by a human sword—
    a sword not made by humans will devour them.
    They will flee before the sword;
    their young men will become forced laborers.
In horror they will flee from their stronghold;
    their officers will be terrified at the signal,
        says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion
        and whose oven is in Jerusalem.
