1. Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead, those who rely on war horses,and trust in Egypt’s many chariotsand in their many, many horsemen.But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israeland do not seek help from the Lord.
2. Yet he too is wise and he will bring disaster;he does not retract his decree.He will attack the wicked nation,and the nation that helps those who commit sin.
