Isaias 31:1
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, trusting in horses, and putting their confidence in chariots, because they are many: and in horsemen, because they are very strong: and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought after the Lord.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Væ qui descendunt in Ægyptum ad auxilium, in equis sperantes, et habentes fiduciam super quadrigis, quia multæ sunt ; et super equitibus, quia prævalidi nimis ; et non sunt confisi super Sanctum Israël, et Dominum non requisierunt !
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Οὐαὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐπὶ βοήθειαν, οἱ ἐφ᾽ ἵπποις πεποιθότες καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἅρμασιν· ἔστιν γὰρ πολλά, καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἵπποις πλῆθος σφόδρα· καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐζήτησαν.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- 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
