Woe to Those Who Rely on Egypt
Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, Psa 20:7Jer 17:5Deu 17:16Jer 2:13Isa 36:9Dan 9:13Isa 30:16Psa 33:16-17
who rely on horses,
who trust in their abundance of chariots
and in their multitude of horsemen.
They do not look to the Holy One of Israel;
they do not seek the LORD.
Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; Num 23:19Isa 45:71Co 1:21-29Amo 3:6Jer 10:12Jud 1:25Mat 24:35Rom 16:27
He does not call back His words.
He will rise up against the house of the wicked
and against the allies of evildoers.
But the Egyptians are men, not God; Ezk 20:33-34Isa 9:17Ezk 28:9Isa 30:7Jer 15:6Psa 33:17Psa 9:20Deu 32:30-31
their horses are flesh, not spirit.
When the LORD stretches out His hand,
the helper will stumble,
and the one he helps will fall;
both will perish together.
For this is what the LORD has said to me: Amo 3:8Hos 11:10Isa 42:13Zec 2:5Zec 12:8Rev 5:5Zec 14:32Ch 20:15
“Like a lion roaring
or a young lion over its prey—
and though a band of shepherds is called out against it,
it is not terrified by their shouting
or subdued by their clamor—
so the LORD of Hosts will come down
to do battle on Mount Zion and its heights.
Like birds hovering overhead, Psa 91:4Psa 37:40Deu 32:11Isa 37:35Isa 38:6Exo 19:4Isa 10:14Psa 46:5
so the LORD of Hosts will protect Jerusalem.
He will shield it and deliver it;
He will pass over it and preserve it.”
Return to the One against whom you have so blatantly rebelled, O children of Israel. Jer 3:22Jer 3:14Isa 55:7Jer 3:102Ch 33:9-16Act 26:20Act 3:19Hos 9:9 For on that day, every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made. Isa 30:22Isa 2:20Ezk 36:25Deu 7:25Hos 14:81Ki 12:28-30Hos 8:11
“Then Assyria will fall, Isa 14:25Gen 49:152Ki 19:34-37Hos 1:7Isa 10:12Isa 10:16-19Isa 10:33-34Isa 29:5
but not by the sword of man;
a sword will devour them,
but not one made by mortals.
They will flee before the sword,
and their young men will be put to forced labor.
Their rock will pass away for fear, Isa 29:6Mal 4:1Deu 32:37Isa 10:17Isa 18:3Isa 4:4Lev 6:13Zec 2:5
and their princes will panic at the sight of the battle standard,”
declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion,
whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
