Isaiah 31:1
|
JPS
| 31:1
| Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help,
And rely on horses,
And trust in chariots, because they are many,
And in horsemen, because they are exceeding mighty;
But they look not unto the Holy One of Israel,
Neither seek the LORD!
|
TJBU
| 31:1
| Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, who stay themselves upon horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many: and in horse men, because they are very strong; but they stay not themselves upon the Word of the Holy One of Israel, neither seek instruction from the Lord.

Isaiah 31:2
|
JPS
| 31:2
| Yet He also is wise,
And bringeth evil,
And doth not call back His words;
But will arise against the house of the evil-doers,
And against the help of them that work iniquity.
|
TJBU
| 31:2
| And also He in His wisdom will bring evil on account of what he is doing; and He will not make to fail His words, but He will arise against the house of evildoers; and against those who help the work of a lie.
|
|
Isaiah 31:3
|
JPS
| 31:3
| Now the Egyptians are men, and not God,
And their horses flesh, and not spirit;
So when the LORD shall stretch out His hand,
Both he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall,
And they all shall perish together.
|
TJBU
| 31:3
| And the Egyptians are men, and none of them a mighty one, and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall deal the stroke of His power, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is holpen shall fall, and all of them together shall be destroyed.

Isaiah 31:4
|
JPS
| 31:4
| For thus saith the LORD unto me:
Like as the lion, or the young lion, growling over his prey,
Though a multitude of shepherds be called forth against him,
Will not be dismayed at their voice,
Nor abase himself for the noise of them;
So will the LORD of hosts come down
To fight upon mount Zion, and upon the hill thereof.
|
TJBU
| 31:4
| For thus the Lord hath said unto me: Like as the lion and the lion's whelp roar over their prey, when a multitude of shepherds are come together, he will not be afraid of their voice, neither be terrified at their timiult; thus shall the kingdom of the Lord of hosts be revealed encamping' upon the mountain of Zion, and upon its hill.
|
|
Isaiah 31:5
|
JPS
| 31:5
| As birds hovering,
So will the LORD of hosts protect Jerusalem;
He will deliver it as He protecteth it,
He will rescue it as He passeth over.
|
TJBU
| 31:5
| As a bird by flying, so the power of the Lord of hosts shall be revealed; He shall protect. He shall deliver. He shall save, and He shall make to pass away.
|
|
Isaiah 31:6
|
JPS
| 31:6
| Turn ye unto Him
Against whom ye have deeply rebelled, O children of Israel.
|
TJBU
| 31:6
| Return to the law; for you have multiplied sin, sons of Israel!
|
|
Isaiah 31:7
|
JPS
| 31:7
| For in that day they shall cast away
Every man his idols of silver, and his idols of gold,
Which your own hands have made unto you for a sin.
|
TJBU
| 31:7
| At that time each man shall abhor the idols of their silver and the idols of their gold, which your hands have made for you for a god.
|
|
Isaiah 31:8
|
JPS
| 31:8
| Then shall Asshur fall with the sword, not of man,
And the sword, not of men, shall devour him;
And he shall flee from the sword,
And his young men shall become tributary.
|
TJBU
| 31:8
| Then shall the Assyrian fall by a sword not of man; and the sword not of a man shall destroy him: and he shall betake himself to flight as from before those who slay with the sword, and his heroes shall be for destruction.
|
|
Isaiah 31:9
|
JPS
| 31:9
| And his rock shall pass away by reason of terror,
And his princes shall be dismayed at the ensign,
Saith the LORD, whose fire is in Zion,
And His furnace in Jerusalem.
|
TJBU
| 31:9
| And his princes shall flee through fear, they shall move away; and his princes shall be broken on account of the miracle, saith the Lord, whose splendour is in Zion to them who obey the law, and whose burning furnace of fire is in Jerusalem for them who transgress His word.
