Distress for Those Who Go to Egypt for Help |
Isaiah 31:1-9 The Book of Isaiah [in Smaller Chunks] |
[Distress for those, who] go down to Egypt for help & [rely] on horses & trust in chariots & horsemen, because they are many & are very strong. But they [don't] look to the Holy one of Israel & neither [do they] seek the Lord! |
[Isaiah 8:18-19 *[Look,] the children & I, whom the Lord has given me are for signs & for wonders in Israel, from the Lord of Hosts, [Who] dwells in Mount Zion. And when they shall say to you, Seek to [those who] have familiar spirits, [a.k.a. speaking with the dead] & to wizards that peep & [whisper,] shouldn’t a people seek to their God? For the Living, [not] to the dead?] |
He is yet also wise & will bring [disaster] & won't [withdraw] His Words: but will arise against the house of the [those who do evil] & against the help of [those, who] work [sinfully.] [Jeremiah 4:2-5 And you shall swear, the Lord lives in: Truth, [Justice] & in Righteousness. |
And the nations shall bless themselves in Him & they shall [boast] in Him. For the Lord says [this] to the men of Judah & Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground & don't sow [seeds] among thorns. |
Circumcise yourselves to the Lord & take away the foreskins [covering] your heart, you men of Judah & [residents] of Jerusalem: lest My fury [comes out] like fire & [burns, so] that none can [put it out,] because of the evil of your [actions.] |
You in Judah declare & [proclaim it] in Jerusalem & say, You, [who] blow the trumpet in the land: cry [out] & gather together & say, Assemble yourselves & let us go into the [fortified] cities.] |
Now, the Egyptians are [only] men & not God. And their horses are flesh & not Spirit. When the Lord shall stretch out His hand, both he, [who] helps shall fall & he, [who] is [helped] shall fall together. |
For the Lord has spoken [this] to me, Like the lion & young lion roaring [over] his prey, when a multitude of shepherds [are] called [out] against [the lion,] he won't be afraid of their voice, nor [humble] himself for the [sound] of them. So, shall the Lord of Hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion & for the hill [of it.] |
[Like] flying birds, so will the Lord of Hosts [swoop down to] defend Jerusalem & [in] defending, He will also deliver it & passing over, He will [safeguard] it. You, children [people] of Israel, [who] have deeply revolted, [return] to Him. For [on] that day, every man shall [throw] away his idols of silver & idols of gold, [that] your own hands have made [for yourselves] for a sin. |
Then, shall the Assyrian [be struck down by] the sword, not [by] a mean [or] mighty man & shall [defeat] him: but he shall flee from the sword & his young men shall be [ashamed.] |
[2 Kings 19:34-35 For I will defend this city, to save it for [My] Own sake & for My servant, David's sake. And it [happened,] that night, that the Angel of the Lord went out & [struck] the camp of 185,000 Assyrians. And when [the Israelites] arose early in the morning, [saw,] they were all dead corpses.] |
The Lord, Whose fire is in Zion & His furnace in Jerusalem says, And he shall pass over to his [fortified] city for fear & his princes shall be afraid of the [banner.] [Isaiah 37:37-38 So king Sennacherib of Assyria departed, went & returned & dwelt in Nineveh. |
And it [happened,] as he was worshiping in the house of Nisroch, his god, that Adrammelech & Sharezer, his sons, [struck] him with the sword & they escaped into the land of Armenia. And Esar Haddon, his son, [ruled] in his [place.] |
