Isaías 31,1-9
Chapter XXXI.
1 The Prophet sheweth the cursed folly, in trusting to Egypt, and forsaking of God. 6 He exhorteth to conuersion. 8 Hee sheweth the fall of Assyria.
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for helpe, and stay on horses, and trust in charets, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong: but they looke not vnto the Holy one of Israel, neither seeke the Lord.
2 Yet he also is wise, and will bring euill, and wil not [ Hebrew: remooue.] call backe his words: but will arise against the house of the euill doers, and against the helpe of them that worke iniquitie.
3 Now the Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses flesh and not spirit: when the Lord shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and hee that is holpen shall fall downe, and they all shall faile together.
4 For thus hath the Lord spoken vnto me; Like as the lyon and the yong lyon roaring on his pray, when a multitude of shepheards is called foorth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himselfe for the [ Or, multitude.] noyse of them: so shall the Lord of hostes come downe to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
5 As birds flying, so wil the Lord of hostes defend Ierusalem, defending also hee will deliuer it, and passing ouer, he will preserue it.
6 Turne yee vnto him from whom the children of Israel haue deeply reuolted.
7 For in that day euery man shall [ Isa_2:20.] cast away his idoles of siluer, and [ Hebrew: the idoles of his golde.] his idoles of gold, which your owne hands haue made vnto you for a sinne.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mightie man; and the sword, not of a meane man, shal deuoure him: but hee shall flee [ Or, for feare of the sword.] from the sword, and his young men shall be [ Or, tributarie: Hebrews for melting, or tribute .] discomfited.
[Good rulers.]
9 And hee shall passe ouer to [ Or, his strength: Hebrew: rocke shall passe away for feare.] his strong holde for feare, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensigne, sayth the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his fornace in Ierusalem.
