The weakness of Egypt's strength

1Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses and 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 and do not seek Yahweh.

2Yet he too is wise and brings disaster; he does not take back his words, but rises against the house of evildoers and against the help of workers of iniquity.

3Egypt is man and not God, and their horses are flesh and not spirit. When Yahweh stretches out his hand, the helper will stumble and the one helped will fall, and together all of them will come to an end.
