  • 31:9 Its rock will give way in terror, its officers will be shaken at the sight of the signal flag, declares the LORD, who keeps a fire in Zion and a furnace in Jerusalem. 3
  • 31:1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help! They lean on horses; they put their confidence in chariots, for there are many of them, and in cavalry, for it is very strong. But they do not turn their eyes to the Holy One of Israel; they do not inquire of the LORD. 2
  • 31:5 Like birds on the wing, the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem: he will protect and rescue, he will pass over and deliver. 2
  • 31:6 Turn back, Israelites, to the one from whom they have gone so deep into rebellion. 2
  • 31:2 But he is wise as well: he brings disaster and does not withdraw what he has said. He will rise up against the house of evildoers and against those who come to the aid of wrongdoers. 1
  • 31:3 Egypt is human and not God; its horses are flesh and not spirit. The LORD will stretch out his hand: the one who gives help will stagger, the one who receives it will go down, and both will be finished together. 1
