^5 (A)They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them,
Or be help or benefit,
But a shame and also a reproach.”

^36 (A)Why do you gad about so much to change your way?
Also ^(B)you shall be ashamed of Egypt ^(C)as you were ashamed of Assyria.

^7 (A)For the Egyptians shall help in vain and to no purpose.
Therefore I have called her
^[a]Rahab-Hem-Shebeth.

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!
² Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster,
And ^(D)will not ^[a]call back His words,
But will arise against the house of evildoers,
And against the help of those who work iniquity.
³ Now the Egyptians are men, and not God;
And their horses are flesh, and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out His hand,
Both he who helps will fall,
And he who is helped will fall down;
They all will perish ^(E)together.

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!
