Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation KJV King James Version

Wo ` to ' those going down to Egypt for help , And on horses lean , And trust on chariots, because many , And on horsemen, because very strong , And have not looked on the Holy One of Israel, And Jehovah have not sought.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help ; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many ; and in horsemen, because they are very strong ; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!

And He also ` is ' wise, and bringeth in evil, And His words He hath not turned aside, And He hath risen against a house of evil doers , And against the help of workers of iniquity.

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words : but will arise against the house of the evildoers , and against the help of them that work iniquity.

And the Egyptians ` are men ' , and not God , And their horses `are' flesh, and not spirit , And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper , And fallen hath the helped one , And together all of them are consumed .

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God ; and their horses flesh, and not spirit . When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall , and he that is holpen shall fall down , and they all shall fail together .

For thus said Jehovah unto me : ` As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height .

For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me , Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him , he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof .

As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem , covering and delivering, Passing over , and causing to escape . '

As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem ; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it .

Turn back to Him from whom sons of Israel Have deepened apostacy .

Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted .

For in that day despise doth each His idols of silver, and his idols of gold, That your hands made to you -- a sin.

For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.

And fallen hath Asshur by sword, not of the high, Yea, a sword -- not of the low , doth consume him , And he hath fled for himself from the face of a sword, And his young men become tributary .

Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword , not of a mean man , shall devour him : but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited .

And ` to ' his rock from fear he passeth on , And affrighted by the ensign have been his princes -- an affirmation of Jehovah , Who hath a light in Zion, And who hath a furnace in Jerusalem !

And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign , saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem .
