Οὐαὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐπὶ βοήθειαν, οἱ ἐφʼ ἵπποις πεποιθότες καὶ ἐφ᾿ ἄρμασιν· ἔστι γὰρ πολλά, καὶ ἐφʼ ἵπποις πλῆθος σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐζήτησαν.

καὶ αὐτὸς σοφὸς ἦγεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς κακά, καὶ ὁ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀθετηθῇ, καὶ ἐπαναστήσεται ἐπʼ οἴκους ἀνθρώπων πονηρῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν τὴν ματαίαν,

Αἰγύπτιον ἄνθρωπον καὶ οὐ θεόν, ἵππων σάρκας καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν βοήθεια· ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐπάξει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπʼ αὐτούς, καὶ κοπιάσουσιν οἱ βοηθοῖντες, καὶ ἄμα πάντες ἀπολοῦνται.

ὅτι οὕτως εἶπέν μοι Κύριος Ον τρόπον ¹² βοήσῃ ὁ λέων ἡ ὁ σκύμνος ἐπὶ τῇ θήρα ἦ ἔλαβεν. καὶ κεκράξῃ ἐπʼ αὐτή ³ ἕως ἐμπλησθῇ τὰ ὅρη τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡττήθησαν καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ θυμοῦ ἐπτοήθησαν, οὕτως καταβήσεται Κύριος σαβαωθ ὲπιστρατεῦσαι ἐπὶ τὸ ὄρος τὸ Σειὼν, ἐπὶ τὰ ὅρη αὐτῆς.

ὡς ὄρνεα πετόμενα, οὕπως ὑπερασπιεῖ Κύριος σαβαώθ, ὑπέρ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὑπερασπιεῖ καὶ ἐξελεῖται, καὶ περιποιήσεται καὶ σώσει.

ἐπιστράφητε, οἱ τὴν βαθείαν βουλὴν βουλευόμενοι καὶ ἄνομον υἱοὶ Ἰσραήλ.

ὅτι τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνη ἀπαρνήσονται οἱ ἄνθρωποι τὰ χεροποίητα αὐτῶν τὰ ἀργυρᾳ καὶ τὰ χειροποίητα τὰ χρυσᾶ ἃ ἐποίησαν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτῶν.

καὶ ⁴ πεσεῖται Ἀσσούρ· οὐ μάχαιρα ἀνδρὸς οὐδὲ μάχαιρα ἀνθρώπου καταφάγεται αὐτόν, καὶ φεύξεται οὐκ ἀπὸ προσώπου μαχαίρας· οἱ δὲ νεανίσκοι ἔσονται εἰς ἤττημα,

πέτρᾳ γὰρ περιλημφθήσονταιι ὡς χὰυακι καὶ ἡττηθήσονται, ὁ δέ φεύγων ἀλώσεται.

Οὐαὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐπὶ βοήθειαν, οἶ ἐφ’ ἵπποις πεποιθότες καὶ ἐφ’ ἅρμασιν· ἔστιν γὰρ πολλά, καὶ ἐφ’ ἵπποις, πλῆθος σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τᾶν ἅγιον
τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν.

καὶ αὐτὸς σοφὸς ἐπ’ αὐτοὺς κακά, καὶ ὃ λόγος αὐτοῦ οὐ μὴ ἀθετηθῇ, καὶ ἐπαναστή- σεται ἐπ’ οἴκους ἀνθρώπων πονηρῶν καὶ ἐπὶ τὴν ἐλπίδα αὐτῶν τήν
ματαίαν,

Αἰγύπιον ἄνθρωπον, καὶ οὐ θεόν, ἵππων σάρκας, καὶ ἔστιν βοήθεια· ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐπάξει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ’ αὐτούς, καὶ
κοπιάσουσιν οἱ βοηθοῦντες, καὶ ἅμα πάντες ἀπολοῦνται.

ὅτι οὕτως εἶπέν μοι Κύριος Ὃν τρόπον ἐὰν λέων ἦ ὃ σκύμνος ἐπὶ τῇ θήρᾳ ᾗ ἔλαβεν, καὶ κεκράξῃ ἐπ’ αὐτῇ ἕως ἂν ἐμπλησθῇ τὰ. ὄρη τῆς φωνῆς αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἡττήθησαν καὶ τὸ πλῆθος τοῦ θυμοῦ ἐπτοήθησαν, οὕτως καταβήσεται Κύριος σαβαὼθ ἐπιστρατεῦσαι ἐπὶ τὸ ὅρος τὸ
Σιών, καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ ὄρη αὐτῆς.

ὡς ὄρνεα πετόμενα, οὕτως Κύριος ὑπὲρ Ἰερουσαλὴμ καὶ ἐξελεῖται καὶ περιποιήσεται καὶ
σώσει.

ἐπιστράφητε, οἶ τὴν βαθεῖαν βουλὴν βουλευσάμενοι καὶ
ἄνομον.

ὅτι τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἀπαρνηθήσονται οἶ ἅνθρωποι τὰ χειροποίητα αὐτῶν τὸ, ἀργυρᾶ καὶ τὰ χρυσᾶ ἅ ἐποίησαν αἱ χεῖρες
αὐτῶν.

καὶ πεσεῖται Ἀσσούρ· οὗ μάχαιρα ἀνδρὸς οὐδὲ μάχαιρα ἀνθρώπου καταφάγεται αὐτόν, καὶ φεύξεται οὐκ ἀπὸ προσώπου
διώκοντος· οἱ δὲ νεανίσκοι ἔσονται εἷς ἥττημα,

πέτρᾳ γὰρ περιλημφθήσονται ὡς χάρακι καὶ ἡττηθήσονται, ὃ δὲ φεύγων ἁλώσεται. Τάδε λέγει Κύριος Μακάριος ὃς ἔχει ἐν Σιὼν σπέρμα καὶ οἰκείους ἐν Ἰερουσαλήμ.

Isaiah Perseus (World English Bible. Revision of the American Standard Version of 1901. Rainbow Missions, Inc., 2000-2024.) — 31 focus

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Yahweh!

Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evil-doers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit: and when Yahweh shall stretch out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

For thus says Yahweh to me, As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds are called forth against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so will Yahweh of Hosts come down to fight on Mount Zion, and on the hill of it.

As birds hovering, so will Yahweh of Hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver [it], he will pass over and preserve [it].

Turn you to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.

For in that day they shall cast away every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made to you for a sin.

The Assyrian shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of men, shall devour him; and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become subject to forced labor.

His rock shall pass away by reason of terror, and his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign, says Yahweh, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
