Isaiah 31:1-3

Woe to Those Who Go Down to Egypt

1 Woe to ^fthose who go down to Egypt for help
and rely on horses,
who ^gtrust in chariots because they are many
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but ^hdo not look to the Holy One of Israel
or consult the Lord!
2 And ⁱyet he is wise and brings disaster;
^jhe does not call back his words,
but ^kwill arise against the house of the evildoers
and against the helpers of ^lthose who work iniquity.
3 The Egyptians are man, and not God,
and their horses ^mare flesh, and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,
the helper will stumble, and he who is helped will fall,
and they will all perish together.

Isaiah 36:9

9 How then can you repulse ⁿa single captain among the least of my master’s servants, when ^oyou trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?
