- 禍哉、那些下埃及求幫助的、是因仗賴馬匹、倚靠甚多的車輛、並倚靠強壯的馬兵、卻不仰望以色列的聖者、也不求問耶和華。
- 其實耶和華有智慧.他必降災禍、並不反悔自己的話、卻要興起攻擊那作惡之家、又攻擊那作孽幫助人的。
- 埃及人不過是人、並不是 神.他們的馬不過是血肉、並不是靈.耶和華一伸手、那幫助人的必絆跌、那受幫助的也必跌倒、都一同滅亡。
- 耶和華對我如此說、獅子和少壯獅子、獲食咆哮、就是喊許多牧人來攻擊他、他總不因他們的聲音驚惶、也不因他們的喧嘩縮伏.如此、萬軍之耶和華、也必降臨在錫安山岡上爭戰。
- 雀鳥怎樣搧翅覆雛、萬軍之耶和華也要照樣保護耶路撒冷、他必保護拯救、要越門保守。

- 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.
- Yet he too is wise and can bring disaster; he does not take back his words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked, against those who help evildoers.
- But the Egyptians are men and not God; their horses are flesh and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, he who helps will stumble, he who is helped will fall; both will perish together.
- This is what the LORD says to me: "As a lion growls, a great lion over his prey-- and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against him, he 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.
- 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."
