Isaiah 31:1-3

International Children’s Bible

31 How terrible it will be for those people who go down to Egypt for help.
    They think horses will save them.
They think their many chariots
    and strong horsemen will save them.
They don’t trust God, the Holy One of Israel.
    They don’t ask the Lord for help.
² But it is the Lord who is wise and who can bring them trouble.
    He does not change his warnings.
He will rise up and fight against the evil people.
    And he will fight against those who try to help evil people.
³ The Egyptians are only people and are not God.
    Their horses are only animals and are not spirit.
The Lord will stretch out his arm,
    and the one who helps will stumble.
    The people who wanted help will fall.
    All of them will be destroyed together.
