Chapter 31

1Ha! Those who go down to Egypt for help And rely upon horses! They have put their trust in abundance of chariots, In vast numbers of riders, And they have not turned to the Holy One of Yisrael, They have not sought Hashem.

2But He too is wise! He has brought on misfortune, And has not canceled His word. So He shall rise against the house of evildoers, And the allies of the workers of iniquity.

3For the Egyptians are man, not Hashem, And their horses are flesh, not spirit; And when Hashem stretches out His arm, The helper shall trip And the helped one shall fall, And both shall perish together.

4For thus Hashem has said to me: As a lion—a great beast— Growls over its prey And, when the shepherds gather In force against him, Is not dismayed by their cries Nor cowed by their noise— So the lord of Hosts will descend to make war Against the mount and the hill of Tzion.

5Like the birds that fly, even so will the lord of Hosts shield Yerushalayim, shielding and saving, protecting and rescuing.

8Then Assyria shall fall, Not by the sword of man; A sword not of humans shall devour him. He shall shrivel before the sword, And his young men pine away.
