Isaiah 20:6

Isaiah 31:1

Egypt Will Disappoint

31:1 Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead, ³ 

those who rely on war horses,

and trust in Egypt’s many chariots ⁴ 

and in their many, many horsemen. ⁵ 

But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel ⁶ 

and do not seek help from the Lord.

[31:1]  ⁶ sn See the note on the phrase “the Holy One of Israel” in 1:4.
