以赛亚书31:1~9
SHEN 要保护耶路撒冷
1 祸哉！那些下埃及求帮助的，是因仗赖马匹，倚靠甚多的车辆，并倚靠强壮的马兵，却不仰望以色列的圣者，也不求问耶/和/华。
2 其实，耶/和/华有智慧；他必降灾祸，并不反悔自己的话，却要兴起攻击那作恶之家，又攻击那作孽帮助人的。
3 埃及人不过是人，并不是 SHEN ；他们的马不过是血肉，并不是灵。耶/和/华一伸手，那帮助人的必绊跌，那受帮助的也必跌倒，都一同灭亡。
4 耶/和/华对我如此说：狮子和少壮狮子护食咆哮，就是喊许多牧人来攻击它，它总不因他们的声音惊惶，也不因他们的喧哗缩伏。如此，万军之耶/和/华也必降临在锡安山冈上争战。
5 雀鸟怎样搧翅覆雏，万军之耶/和/华也要照样保护耶路撒冷。他必保护拯救，要越门保守。
6 以色列人哪，你们深深地悖逆耶/和/华，现今要归向他。 7到那日，各人必将他金偶像银偶像，就是亲手所造、陷自己在罪中的，都抛弃了。
8 亚述人必倒在刀下，并非人的刀；有刀要将他吞灭，并非人的刀。他必逃避这刀；他的少年人必成为服苦的。
9 他的磐石必因惊吓挪去；他的首领必因大旗惊惶。这是那有火在锡安、有炉在耶路撒冷的耶/和/华说的。

Woe to Those Who Rely on Egypt
1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the Lord.
2 Yet he too is wise and can bring disaster; he does not take back his words. He will rise up against that wicked nation, against those who help evildoers.
3 But the Egyptians are mere mortals and not God; their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the Lord stretches out his hand, those who help will stumble, those who are helped will fall; all will perish together.
4 This is what the Lord says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey—and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not frightened by their shouts
or disturbed by their clamor—so the Lord Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
5 Like birds hovering overhead, the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over’ it and will rescue it.”
6 Return, you Israelites, to the One you have so greatly revolted against.

7 For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made.
8 “Assyria will fall by no human sword; a sword, not of mortals, will devour them. They will flee before the sword and their young men will be put to forced labor.
9 Their stronghold will fall because of terror; at the sight of the battle standard their commanders will panic,” declares the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
