1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help;
2Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil,
3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God;
4For thus hath the Lord spoken unto me,
5As birds flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem;
6Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
7For in that day every man shall cast away
8Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man;
9And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear,
