4 However, the king of As·syrʹi·a got to find conspiracy+ in Ho·sheʹa’s case, in that he had sent messengers to So the king of Egypt+ and did not bring the tribute up to the king of As·syrʹi·a as in former years. Hence the king of As·syrʹi·a shut him up and kept him bound in the house of detention.+

2 those who are setting out to go down to Egypt+ and who have not inquired of my own mouth,+ to take shelter in the stronghold of Pharʹaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!+

31 Woe to those going down to Egypt for assistance,+ those who rely on mere horses,+ and who put their trust in war chariots,+ because they are numerous, and in steeds,* because they are very mighty, but who have not looked to the Holy One of Israel and have not searched for Jehovah himself.+
