31 “How terrible it will be for those who go down to^[a] Egypt for help,
    who rely on horses,
who trust in the chariot,
    because there are so many,
and in charioteers,^[b]
    because they are so strong—
but do not look to^[c] the Holy One of Israel
    or seek the Lord!
² Yet he is also wise and can bring disaster;
    he does not take back his words,
but will rise up against the house of those who practice evil
    and against anyone who assists people who work iniquity.
³ The Egyptians are men, not God,
    and their horses are physical,^[d] not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,
    anyone who assists will stumble,
and the one who is helped will fall;
    and they will all perish together.”
