31 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for helpa
and who depend on horses!
They trust in the abundance of chariots
and in the large number of horsemen.b
They do not lookc to the Holy One of Israel,
and they do not seek the Lord.
2 But he also is wise and brings disaster.d
He does not go back on what he says;e
he will rise up against the house of the wicked
and against the allies of evildoers.
their horses are flesh, not spirit.
When the Lord raises his hand to strike,
the helper will stumble
and the one who is helped will fall;
both will perish together.
4 For this is what the Lord said to me:
As a lion or young lion growls over its preyf
when a band of shepherds is called out against it,
and it is not terrified by their shouting
or subdued by their noise,
so the Lord of Armies will come down
to fight on Mount Zion
and on its hill.g
so the Lord of Armies will protect Jerusalemh;
by protecting it, he will rescue it;
by passing over it, he will deliver it.
6 Return to the one the Israelites have greatly rebelled against.i 7 For on that day, every one of you will reject the worthless idols of silver and gold that your own hands have sinfully made.j
but not by human sword;
a sword will devour him,
but not one made by man.k
He will flee from the sword;
his young men will be put to forced labor.l
9 His rockA will pass away because of fear,m
and his officers will be afraid because of the signal flag.n
This is the Lord’s declaration—whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.o

About Christian Standard BibleThe Christian Standard Bible (CSB) is a highly trustworthy, faithful translation that is proven to be the optimal blend of accuracy and readability. It’s as literal to the original as possible without sacrificing clarity. The CSB is poised to become the translation that pastors rely on and Bible readers turn to again and again to read and to share with others. The CSB is an original translation: more than 100 scholars from 17 denominations translated directly from the best available Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic source texts into English. Its source texts are the standard used by scholars and seminaries today. The CSB is trustworthy: the conservative, evangelical scholars of the CSB affirm the authority of Scripture as the inerrant Word of God and seek the highest level of faithfulness to the original and accuracy in their translation. These scholars and LifeWay, the non-profit ministry that stewards the CSB, also champion the Bible against cultural trends that would compromise its truths. The CSB is clear: it is as literal a translation of the ancient source texts as possible, but, in the many places throughout Scripture where a word-for-word rendering might obscure the meaning for a modern audience, it uses a more dynamic translation. In all cases, the intent is to convey the original meaning of God’s Word as faithfully and as clearly as possible. |
