Woe
ה֣וֹי
to them that go down
הַיֹּרְדִ֤ים
to Egypt
מִצְרַ֙יִם֙
for help
לְעֶזְרָ֔ה
 
עַל
on horses
סוּסִ֖ים
and stay
יִשָּׁעֵ֑נוּ
and trust
וַיִּבְטְח֨וּ
 
עַל
in chariots
רֶ֜כֶב
 
כִּ֣י
because they are many
רָ֗ב
 
וְעַ֤ל
and in horsemen
פָּֽרָשִׁים֙
 
כִּֽי
strong
עָצְמ֣וּ
because they are very
מְאֹ֔ד
 
וְלֹ֤א
but they look
שָׁעוּ֙
 
עַל
not unto the Holy One
קְד֣וֹשׁ
of Israel
יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל
 
וְאֶת
the LORD
יְהוָ֖ה
 
לֹ֥א
neither seek
דָרָֽשׁוּ׃
2
 
וְגַם
 
ה֤וּא
Yet he also is wise
חָכָם֙
and will bring
וַיָּ֣בֵא
evil
רָ֔ע
 
וְאֶת
his words
דְּבָרָ֖יו
 
לֹ֣א
and will not call back
הֵסִ֑יר
but will arise
וְקָם֙
 
עַל
against the house
בֵּ֣ית
of the evildoers
מְרֵעִ֔ים
 
וְעַל
and against the help
עֶזְרַ֖ת
of them that work
פֹּ֥עֲלֵי
iniquity
אָֽוֶן׃
3
Now the Egyptians
וּמִצְרַ֤יִם
are men
אָדָם֙
 
וְֽלֹא
and not God
אֵ֔ל
and their horses
וְסוּסֵיהֶ֥ם
flesh
בָּשָׂ֖ר
 
וְלֹא
and not spirit
ר֑וּחַ
When the LORD
וַֽיהוָ֞ה
shall stretch out
יַטֶּ֣ה
his hand
יָד֗וֹ
shall fall
וְכָשַׁ֤ל
and he that is holpen
עָזֻ֔ר
shall fall down
וְנָפַ֣ל
and he that is holpen
עָזֻ֔ר
together
וְיַחְדָּ֖ו
 
כֻּלָּ֥ם
and they all shall fail
יִכְלָיֽוּן׃
4
 
כִּ֣י
 
כֹ֣ה
spoken
אָֽמַר
For thus hath the LORD
יְהוָ֣ה
 
אֵלַ֡י
 
כַּאֲשֶׁ֣ר
roaring
יֶהְגֶּה֩
unto me Like as the lion
הָאַרְיֵ֨ה
and the young lion
וְהַכְּפִ֜יר
 
עַל
on his prey
טַרְפּ֗וֹ
 
אֲשֶׁ֨ר
is called forth
יִקָּרֵ֤א
 
עָלָיו֙
when a multitude
מְלֹ֣א
of shepherds
רֹעִ֔ים
of their voice
מִקּוֹלָם֙
 
לֹ֣א
against him he will not be afraid
יֵחָ֔ת
himself for the noise
וּמֵֽהֲמוֹנָ֖ם
 
לֹ֣א
nor abase
יַֽעֲנֶ֑ה
 
כֵּ֗ן
come down
יֵרֵד֙
For thus hath the LORD
יְהוָ֣ה
of hosts
צְבָא֔וֹת
to fight
לִצְבֹּ֥א
 
עַל
for mount
הַר
Zion
צִיּ֖וֹן
 
וְעַל
and for the hill
גִּבְעָתָֽהּ׃
5
As birds
כְּצִפֳּרִ֣ים
flying
עָפ֔וֹת
 
כֵּ֗ן
defend
גָּנ֥וֹן
so will the LORD
יְהוָ֥ה
of hosts
צְבָא֖וֹת
 
עַל
Jerusalem
יְרֽוּשָׁלִָ֑ם
defend
גָּנ֥וֹן
also he will deliver
וְהִצִּ֖יל
it and passing over
פָּסֹ֥חַ
he will preserve
וְהִמְלִֽיט׃
6
Turn
שׁ֗וּבוּ
 
לַאֲשֶׁ֛ר
have deeply
הֶעְמִ֥יקוּ
revolted
סָרָ֖ה
ye unto him from whom the children
בְּנֵ֥י
of Israel
יִשְׂרָאֵֽל׃
7
 
כִּ֚י
For in that day
בַּיּ֣וֹם
 
הַה֔וּא
shall cast away
יִמְאָס֗וּן
every man
אִ֚ישׁ
and his idols
וֶאֱלִילֵ֖י
of silver
כַסְפּ֔וֹ
and his idols
וֶאֱלִילֵ֖י
of gold
זְהָב֑וֹ
 
אֲשֶׁ֨ר
have made
עָשׂ֥וּ
 
לָכֶ֛ם
which your own hands
יְדֵיכֶ֖ם
unto you for a sin
חֵֽטְא׃
8
fall
וְנָפַ֤ל
Then shall the Assyrian
אַשּׁוּר֙
and the sword
חֶ֔רֶב
 
לֹא
not of a mighty man
אִ֔ישׁ
and the sword
חֶ֔רֶב
 
לֹֽא
not of a mean man
אָדָ֖ם
shall devour
תֹּֽאכֲלֶ֑נּוּ
him but he shall flee
וְנָ֥ס
 
לוֹ֙
from
מִפְּנֵי
and the sword
חֶ֔רֶב
and his young men
וּבַחוּרָ֖יו
shall be discomfited
לָמַ֥ס
 
יִהְיֽוּ׃
9
to his strong hold
וְסַלְעוֹ֙
for fear
מִמָּג֣וֹר
And he shall pass over
יַֽעֲב֔וֹר
shall be afraid
וְחַתּ֥וּ
of the ensign
מִנֵּ֖ס
and his princes
שָׂרָ֑יו
saith
נְאֻם
the LORD
יְהוָ֗ה
 
אֲשֶׁר
whose fire
א֥וּר
 
לוֹ֙
is in Zion
בְּצִיּ֔וֹן
and his furnace
וְתַנּ֥וּר
 
ל֖וֹ
in Jerusalem
בִּירוּשָׁלִָֽם׃
