31 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for assistance,+

Who rely on horses,+

Who trust in war chariots because they are numerous,

And in warhorses* because they are mighty.

But they do not look to the Holy One of Israel,

And they do not search for Jehovah.

 3 The Egyptians, though, are mere men and not God;

Their horses are flesh and not spirit.+

When Jehovah stretches out his hand,

Whoever offers help will stumble

And whoever is helped will fall;

They will all perish at the same time.
