• THE FOLLY OF NOT TRUSTING GOD
• 1 Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, And
  rely on horses, Who trust in chariots because
  they are many, And in horsemen because they are
  very strong, But who do not look to the Holy One
  of Israel, Nor seek the LORD!
• 2 Yet He also is wise and will bring disaster,
  And will not call back His words, But will arise
  against the house of evildoers, And against the
  help of those who work iniquity.
• 3 Now the Egyptians are men, and not God And
  their horses are flesh, and not spirit. When the
  LORD stretches out His hand, Both he who helps
