New King James Version
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!
Ecclesiastes 9:11
New King James Version
11 I returned (A)and saw under the sun that—
The race is not to the swift,
Nor the battle to the strong,
Nor bread to the wise,
Nor riches to men of understanding,
Nor favor to men of skill;
But time and (B)chance happen to them all.

Hosea 1:7

7 (A)Yet I will have mercy on the house of Judah,
Will save them by the Lord their God,
And (B)will not save them by bow,
Nor by sword or battle,
By horses or horsemen.”
Psalm 33:16-18
New King James Version
16 (A)No king is saved by the multitude of an army;
A mighty man is not delivered by great strength.
17 (B)A horse is a [a]vain hope for safety;
Neither shall it deliver any by its great strength.
18 (C)Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him,
On those who hope in His mercy,

Job 39:19-25
New King James Version
19 “Have you given the horse strength?
Have you clothed his neck with [a]thunder?
20 Can you [b]frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
(A)He gallops into the clash of arms.
22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;
Nor does he turn back from the sword.
23 The quiver rattles against him,
The glittering spear and javelin.
24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;
Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle from afar,
The thunder of captains and shouting.
2 Samuel 1:23
New King James Version
23 “Saul and Jonathan were beloved and pleasant in their lives,
And in their (A)death they were not divided;
They were swifter than eagles,
They were (B)stronger than lions.
2 Samuel 2:18-23
New King James Version
18 Now the (A)three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab and Abishai and Asahel. And Asahel was (B)as fleet of foot (C)as a wild gazelle. 19 So Asahel pursued Abner, and in going he did not turn to the right hand or to the left from following Abner.
20 Then Abner looked behind him and said, “Are you Asahel?”
He answered, “I am.”
21 And Abner said to him, “Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his armor for yourself.” But Asahel would not turn aside from following him. 22 So Abner said again to Asahel, “Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I face your brother Joab?” 23 However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him (D)in the stomach with the blunt end of the spear, so that the spear came out of his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood (E)still.
