Isaías 31

Don’t Trust the Power of Egypt

1 You are in for trouble

if you go to Egypt for help,

or if you depend on

an army of chariots

or a powerful cavalry.

Instead you should depend on

and trust the holy Lord God

of Israel.

2 The Lord isn’t stupid!

He does what he promises,

and he can bring doom.

If you are cruel yourself,

or help those who are evil,

you will be destroyed.
