¡Ay de los que descienden a Egipto por ayuda! En los caballos buscan apoyo, y confían en los carros porque son muchos, y en los jinetes porque son muy fuertes, pero no miran al Santo de Israel, ni buscan al Señor .
AY de los que descienden � Egipto por ayuda, y conf�an en caballos; y su esperanza ponen en carros, porque son muchos, y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron � Jehov�!
�Ay de los que descienden a Egipto por ayuda; y conf�an en caballos; y en carros ponen su esperanza, porque son muchos; y en caballeros, porque son valientes; y no miraron al Santo de Israel, ni buscaron al SE�OR!

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help,.... Or, "O ye that go down", c. what poor foolish creatures are you! And in the end what miserable and wretched ones will ye be! Such were the Jewish rulers and people, who either went themselves, or sent ambassadors to the king of Egypt, to supply them with men and horses against the king of Assyria, contrary to the express command of God, which forbid them returning to Egypt; and which showed their unmindfulness of deliverance from thence, and their not having a due sense of that mercy upon them; as well as their so doing exposed them to the danger of being drawn into the superstitions and idolatries of that people:
and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because [they] are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; having their dependence upon, and placing their confidence in, the strength and numbers of the cavalry of the Egyptians:
but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord; they did not look unto the Lord with an eye of faith, nor seek him by prayer and supplication; or ask any counsel or instruction of him, as the Targum paraphrases the last clause; so that their sin lay not only in their confidence in the creature, but in their neglect of the Lord himself; and so all such persons are foolish and miserable, that trust in an arm of flesh, that place their confidence in creature acts, in their own righteousness, duties, and services, and have no regard to the Holy One of Israel, to the holiness and righteousness of Christ, neglect that, and do not submit to it; thus the Targum interprets the former clause of the Word of the Holy One of Israel, the essential Word Christ.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Wo - (see the note at Isaiah 30:1).
To them that go down to Egypt - (see the note at Isaiah 30:2).
And stay on horses - (see the note at Isaiah 30:16).
And trust in chariots - (see the note at Isaiah 21:7). That they were often used in war, is apparent from the following places Joshua 11:4; Judges 1:19; 1 Samuel 13:5; 2 Samuel 8:4.
Because they are many - Because they hope to secure the aid of many. See the references above. It is evident that their confidence in them would be in proportion to the number which they could bring into the field.
But they look not ... - (see the note at Isaiah 30:1)
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER XXXI
The Jews again reproved for their confidence in Egypt, finely
contrasted with their neglect of the power and protection of
God, 1-3.
Deliverance and protection are, notwithstanding, promised,
expressed by two similes; the first remarkably lofty and
poetical, the latter singularly beautiful and tender, 4, 5.
Exhortation to repentance, joined with the prediction of a more
reformed period, 6, 7.
This chapter concludes like the preceding, with a prophecy of
the fall of Sennacherib, 8, 9.
NOTES ON CHAP. XXXI
Verse Isaiah 31:1. Wo to them that go down to Egypt — This is a reproof to the Israelites for forming an alliance with the Egyptians, and not trusting in the Lord.
And stay on horses - "Who trust in horses"] For ועל veal, and upon, first twenty MSS. of Kennicott's, thirty of De Rossi's, one of my own, and the Septuagint, Arabic, and Vulgate, read על al, upon, without the conjunction, which disturbs the sense.
