Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help And rely on horses, And trust in chariots because they are many And in horsemen because they are very strong, But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor seek the LORD!

Now the Egyptians are men and not God, And their horses are flesh and not spirit; So the LORD will stretch out His hand, And he who helps will stumble And he who is helped will fall, And all of them will come to an end together. read more.

Like flying birds so the LORD of hosts will protect Jerusalem He will protect and deliver it; He will pass over and rescue it. Return to Him from whom you have deeply defected, O sons of Israel.
