1¡Ay de los que bajan a Egipto por socorro, Y confían en caballos y confían en carros, porque son muchos, Y en jinetes, porque son fuertes, Y no se fijan en el Santo de Israel, Y no consultan a YHVH!2Pues Él también es hábil para enviar desgracias, Y no revoca su palabra: Se alzará contra una casa de malvados, Contra un auxilio de malhechores.3Los egipcios son hombres y no dioses, Sus caballos son carne y no espíritu. YHVH extenderá su mano y el protector tropezará, Y caerá el protegido, y ambos perecerán, Pues así me ha dicho YHVH:4Como gruñe el león o el cachorro con su presa, Y no se amedrenta por el griterío de los pastores que viene contra él, Ni se intimida por su tumulto, Así descenderá YHVH Sebaot A combatir sobre el Monte Sión, Sobre su cima.5Como ave que revolotea, Así amparará YHVH Sebaot a Jerusalem, Amparando y salvando, Perdonando y libertando.6¡Oh hijos de Israel, volveos a Aquél De quien tan radicalmente os habéis apartado!7Aquel día cada cual rechazará con desprecio Sus ídolos de plata y sus ídolos de oro, Que vuestras manos os hicieron para pecar.8Asiria caerá con espada, pero no de hombre, Espada no de mortal la devorará, Y si sus jóvenes escapan de la espada, Llegarán a ser tributarios.9Su roca escapará despavorida, Sus príncipes quedarán espantados ante su estandarte, dice YHVH, Que tiene su hoguera en Sión, Y su horno en Jerusalem.
Isaías 31
King James Version
1Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!2Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.4For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.5As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.6Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.7For in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.8Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited.9And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
