to seek help from the Egyptians?

What good will it do you to go over to Assyria

to seek help from the Assyrians?

Even the strongest cannot escape.

There in the north by the Euphrates River

they stumble and fall in defeat.

like its streams turbulent at flood stage.

I will destroy cities and the people who inhabit them.’
