Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help
and who depend on horses!
They trust in the abundance of chariots
and in the large number of horsemen.
They do not look to the Holy One of Israel
and they do not seek the Lord’s help.

Turn to Me and be saved,
all the ends of the earth.
For I am God,
and there is no other.

But I will look to the Lord;
I will wait for the God of my salvation.
My God will hear me.

in His body on the tree,
so that, having died to sins,
we might live for righteousness;
you have been healed by His wounds.
