Horses and flesh
Trouble is coming to those who go down to Egypt for help, rely on horses, trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but don't look to the Holy One of Israel or seek the LORD. But he's wise too, and he'll bring trouble, and he won't take back his words. He'll rise against the house of the wrongdoers and against the help of those who do wrong. The Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both the helper will fall and the one helped will fall down, and they will all fail together. This is what the LORD said to me: ‘Like a lion, or a young lion, roaring over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called out against him — he isn't afraid of their voice or humbled by their noise — so the LORD Almighty will come down to fight for Mount Zion and its hill.’ Like birds hovering, the LORD Almighty will cover Jerusalem. He'll cover and rescue her. He'll pass over and deliver her. Turn back to the one against whom the Israelites have deeply revolted. Because on that day every man will throw away his silver idols and his gold idols, those your own hands made for you as sin. Then the Assyrian will fall by a sword that isn't a man's, and a sword that isn't human will eat him up. He'll run from the sword, and his young men will be put to forced labour. He'll go past his stronghold in terror, and his officers will panic at the sight of the banner — declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Trouble is coming to those who go down to Egypt for help and lean on horses — who trust in chariots because there are plenty of them and in horsemen because they're very strong — but don't look to the Holy One of Israel and don't ask the Lord anything. But he's wise too, and he'll bring trouble, and he won't take back his words. He'll get up against the house of the wrongdoers and against the help of those who do wrong. The Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out his hand, the helper will stumble and the one being helped will fall, and the lot of them will be finished together. Because this is what the Lord said to me: The way a lion or a young lion growls over its prey, and though a whole mob of shepherds is called out against him he isn't scared of their shouting or bothered by their racket — that's how the Lord Almighty will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on her hill. Like birds hovering, the Lord Almighty will cover Jerusalem. He'll cover and rescue her. He'll pass over and deliver her. Turn back to the one you've gone so deep in revolt against, you people of Israel. Because on that day every man will throw away his silver idols and his gold idols, the ones your own hands made for you as sin. Then the Assyrian will fall by a sword that isn't a man's, and a sword that isn't human will eat him up. He'll run from the sword, and his young men will be put to forced labour.

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! 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. 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 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 will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it. Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted. 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. 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 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.
