Egypt’s Horses Will Stumble

31 Oy, those going down to Egypt for help.
They are relying on horses,
trusting in chariots since they are many,
    and in horsemen since they are very mighty,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel
    nor seek Adonai!

He brings disaster, and does not take back His words.
He rises against the house of evildoers,
against help for workers of iniquity.

31 Woe(A) to those who go down to Egypt(B) for help,

but do not look to the Holy One(E) of Israel,
    or seek help from the Lord.(F)
Yet he too is wise(G) and can bring disaster;(H)
    he does not take back his words.(I)
He will rise up against that wicked nation,(J)
    against those who help evildoers.
