Isaiah 31


 Isaiah 31

New International Version

Woe to Those Who Rely on Egypt

31 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.

    Our Congress has been run like a plantation, and you know what I'm talkin' about." - Hillary Clinton, pandering to a black audience by calling Republicans racists again

    Progressive women think that Republicans want to kill them, at least Donald Trup does.
    Dan Rather was an honest-to-goodness reporter, but the Republicans were much to hard on him..The thing about liberals I respect is the people on Air America Radio.
    When it comes to 'respecting Women,"Liberals like Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton showed their "respect" most for Mary Jo Kopechne and Monica Lewinsky and Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick and Paula Jones.
    And Conservatives look to destroy our Democracy, weaken our military, support our enemies and cripple working Americans with their hateful policies.... Oh No, MY MISTAKE that was Joe Biden.
