1	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!
			2	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. [call...: Heb. remove]
			3	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.
			4	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. [noise: or, multitude]
			5	As birds flying# , so will the LORD of hosts defend# Jerusalem; defending# also he will deliver# it; and passing over# he will preserve# it.
			6	Turn# ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply# revolted.
			7	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. [his idols of gold: Heb. the idols of his gold]
			8	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. [from: or, for fear of] [discomfited: or, tributary: Heb. for melting, or, tribute]
			9	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. [he...: Heb. his rock shall pass away for fear] [his strong hold: or, his strength]
