The Prophecy
of Isaias 31
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting
in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots,
because they me many: and in horsemen, because they
me very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One
of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.
But he that is the wise one hath brought evil, and hath
not removed his words: and he will rise up against the
house of the wicked, and against the aid of them that
work iniquity.
Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh,
and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand,
and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall
fall, and they shall al be confounded together.
For thus saith the Lord to me: Like as the lion roareth,
and the lion's whelp upon his prey, and when a multitude
of shepherds shall come against him, he will not fear
at their voice, nor be afraid of their multitude: so
shall the Lord of hosts come down to fight upon mount
Sion, and upon the hill thereof.
As birds dying, so will the Lord of hosts protect Jerusalem,
protecting and delivering, passing over and saving.
Return as you had deeply revolted, O children of Israel.
For in that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver,
and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for
you to sin.
And the Assyrian shall fall by the sword not of a man,
and the sword not of a man shall devour him, and he
shall flee not at the face of the sword: and his young
men shall be tributaries.
And his strength shall pass away with dread, and his
princes fleeing shall be afraid: the Lord hath said
it, whose die is in Sion, and his furnace in Jerusalem. |
