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.

    both he who helps will stumble
    and he who is helped will fall,
    and both will perish together.
