Isaiah 31:1-2

Good News Translation

God Will Protect Jerusalem

31 Those who go to Egypt for help are doomed! They are relying on Egypt's vast military strength—horses, chariots, and soldiers. But they do not rely on the Lord, the holy God of Israel, or ask him for help. ² He knows what he is doing! He sends disaster. He carries out his threats to punish evil people and those who protect them.
