- 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!ה֣וֹי הַיֹּרְדִ֤ים מִצְרַ֨יִם֙ לְעֶזְרָ֔ה עַל סוּסִ֖ים יִשָּׁעֵ֑נוּ וַיִּבְטְח֨וּ עַל רֶ֜כֶב כִּ֣י רָ֗ב וְעַ֤ל פָּֽרָשִׁים֙ כִּֽי עָצְמ֣וּ מְאֹ֔ד וְלֹ֤א שָׁעוּ֙ עַל קְד֣וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֥א דָרָֽשׁוּ
- 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.וְגַם ה֤וּא חָכָם֙ וַיָּ֣בֵא רָ֔ע וְאֶת דְּבָרָ֖יו לֹ֣א הֵסִ֑יר וְקָם֙ עַל בֵּ֣ית מְרֵעִ֔ים וְעַל עֶזְרַ֖ת פֹּ֥עֲלֵי אָֽוֶן
- 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.וּמִצְרַ֤יִם אָדָם֙ וְֽלֹא אֵ֔ל וְסוּסֵיהֶ֥ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וְלֹא ר֑וּחַ וַֽיהוָ֞ה יַטֶּ֣ה יָד֗וֹ וְכָשַׁ֤ל עוֹזֵר֙ וְנָפַ֣ל עָזֻ֔ר וְיַחְדָּ֖ו כֻּלָּ֥ם יִכְלָיֽוּן
- 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.כִּ֣י כֹ֣ה אָֽמַר יְהוָ֣ה אֵלַ֡י כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר יֶהְגֶּה֩ הָאַרְיֵ֨ה וְהַכְּפִ֜יר עַל טַרְפּ֗וֹ אֲשֶׁ֨ר יִקָּרֵ֤א עָלָיו֙ מְלֹ֣א רֹעִ֔ים מִקּוֹלָם֙ לֹ֣א יֵחָ֔ת וּמֵֽהֲמוֹנָ֖ם לֹ֣א יַֽעֲנֶ֑ה כֵּ֗ן יֵרֵד֙ יְהוָ֣ה צְבָא֔וֹת לִצְבֹּ֥א עַל הַר צִיּ֖וֹן וְעַל גִּבְעָתָֽהּ
- 5As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.כְּצִפֳּרִ֣ים עָפ֔וֹת כֵּ֗ן יָגֵ֛ן יְהוָ֥ה צְבָא֖וֹת עַל יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם גָּנ֥וֹן וְהִצִּ֖יל פָּסֹ֥חַ וְהִמְלִֽיט
- 6Turn ye unto him from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.שׁ֗וּבוּ לַאֲשֶׁ֛ר הֶעְמִ֥יקוּ סָרָ֖ה בְּנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
- 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.כִּ֚י בַּיּ֣וֹם הַה֔וּא יִמְאָס֗וּן אִ֚ישׁ אֱלִילֵ֣י כַסְפּ֔וֹ וֶאֱלִילֵ֖י זְהָב֑וֹ אֲשֶׁ֨ר עָשׂ֥וּ יְדֵיכֶ֖ם חֵֽטְא
- 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.וְנָפַ֤ל אַשּׁוּר֙ בְּחֶ֣רֶב לֹא אִ֔ישׁ וְחֶ֥רֶב לֹֽא אָדָ֖ם תֹּֽאכֲלֶ֑נּוּ וְנָ֥ס מִפְּנֵי חֶ֔רֶב וּבַחוּרָ֖יו לָמַ֥ס יִהְיֽוּ
- 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.וְסַלְעוֹ֙ מִמָּג֣וֹר יַֽעֲב֔וֹר וְחַתּ֥וּ מִנֵּ֖ס שָׂרָ֑יו נְאֻם יְהוָ֗ה אֲשֶׁר א֥וּר בְּצִיּ֔וֹן וְתַנּ֥וּר בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם

Hebrew verse gematria
YHWSA calculates these totals directly from every consonant in the tagged Hebrew source line using the Carlo Suarès letter-number system; vowel points and cantillation marks do not add values. The totals are not reverse-mapped from English. A matching number is a comparison to investigate, not proof that two passages mean the same thing.
