The Folly of Not Trusting God
31 Woe to those (A)who go down to Egypt for help,
And (B)rely on horses,
Who trust in chariots because they are many,
And in horsemen because they are very strong,
But who do not look to the Holy One of Israel,
(C)Nor seek the Lord!
Isaiah 30:16
New King James Version
16 And you said, “No, for we will flee on horses”—
Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses”—
Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!

7 Some trust in chariots, and some in (A)horses;
But we will remember the name of the Lord our God.

16 But he shall not multiply (A)horses for himself, nor cause the people (B)to return to Egypt to multiply horses, for (C)the Lord has said to you, (D)‘You shall not return that way again.’ 17 Neither shall he multiply wives for himself, lest his heart turn away; nor shall he greatly multiply silver and (E)gold for himself.

11 “And (A)the merchants of the earth will weep and mourn over her, for no one buys their merchandise anymore: 12 (B)merchandise of gold and silver, precious stones and pearls, fine linen and purple, silk and scarlet, every kind of citron wood, every kind of object of ivory, every kind of object of most precious wood, bronze, iron, and marble; 13 and cinnamon and incense, fragrant oil and frankincense, wine and oil, fine flour and wheat, cattle and sheep, horses and chariots, and bodies and (C)souls of men. 14 The fruit that your soul longed for has gone from you, and all the things which are rich and splendid have [a]gone from you, and you shall find them no more at all. 15 The merchants of these things, who became rich by her, will stand at a distance for fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, 16 and saying, ‘Alas, alas, (D)that great city (E)that was clothed in fine linen, purple, and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls! 17 (F)For in one hour such great riches [b]came to nothing.’ (G)Every shipmaster, all who travel by ship, sailors, and as many as trade on the sea, stood at a distance

They do not plead (B)the cause,
The cause of the fatherless;
(C)Yet they prosper,
And the right of the needy they do not defend.

2 Chronicles 9:20-25
New King James Version
20 All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon. 21 For the king’s ships went to (A)Tarshish with the servants of [a]Hiram. Once every three years the [b]merchant ships came, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and [c]monkeys.
22 So King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom. 23 And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 24 Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, (B)armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year.
25 Solomon (C)had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

21 (A)All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the House of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon. 22 For the king had (B)merchant[a] ships at sea with the fleet of Hiram. Once every three years the merchant (C)ships came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and [b]monkeys. 23 So (D)King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.
24 Now all the earth sought the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart. 25 Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year.
26 (E)And Solomon (F)gathered chariots and horsemen; he had one thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he [c]stationed in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem. 27 (G)The king made silver as common in Jerusalem as stones, and he made cedar trees as abundant as the sycamores which are in the lowland.
