Woe to Those Who Go Down to Egypt
1 Woea to those who go down to Egypt for help
and rely on horses,
who trust in chariots because they are many
and in horsemen because they are very strong,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel
or consult the Lord!

to fightb on Mount Zion and on its hill.

will protect Jerusalem;
he will protect and deliver it;
he will spare and rescue it.”

and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
