¹ Woe^[a] to ^(a)those who go down to Egypt for help
    and rely on horses,
who ^(b)trust in chariots because they are many
    and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but ^(c)do not look to the Holy One of Israel
    or consult the Lord!
² And ^(d)yet he is wise and brings disaster;
    ^(e)he does not call back his words,
but ^(f)will arise against the house of the evildoers
    and against the helpers of ^(g)those who work iniquity.
³ The Egyptians are man, and not God,
    and their horses ^(h)are 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.

⁴ For thus the Lord said to me,
⁽ⁱ⁾"As a lion or a young lion growls over his prey,
    and when a band of shepherds is called out against him
he is not terrified by their shouting
    or daunted at their noise,
^(j)so the Lord of hosts will come down
    to fight^[b] on Mount Zion and on its hill.
^5 (k)Like birds hovering, so the Lord of hosts
    will protect Jerusalem;
he will protect and deliver it;
    he will spare and rescue it."

^8 (o)"And the Assyrian shall fall by a sword, not of man;
    and a sword, not of man, shall devour him;
and he shall flee from the sword,
    and his young men shall be ^(p)put to forced labor.
^9 (q)His rock shall pass away in terror,
    and his officers desert the standard in panic,"
declares the Lord, whose ^(r)fire is in Zion,
    and whose ^(s)furnace is in Jerusalem.
