³ Assyria will not save us,^(A)
we will not ride on horses,^(B)
and we will no longer proclaim, “Our gods! ”^(C)
to the work of our hands.^(D)
For the fatherless receives compassion in you.’^(E)

⁷ Some take pride in chariots, and others in horses,
but we take pride in the name of the Lord our God.^(A)

31 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help^(A)
and who depend on horses!
They trust in the abundance of chariots
and in the large number of horsemen.^(B)
They do not look^(C) to the Holy One of Israel,
and they do not seek the Lord.

³ Egyptians are men, not God;
their horses are flesh, not spirit.
When the Lord raises his hand to strike,
the helper will stumble
and the one who is helped will fall;
both will perish together.
