Isaiah 31

1 woe! [the] to go down Egypt to/for help upon horse to lean and to trust upon chariot for many and upon horseman for be vast much and not to gaze upon holy Israel and [obj] LORD not to seek

Tragedy is coming to those who appeal to Egypt for help, depending on their horses and trusting in all their chariots and charioteers! They don't look to the Holy One of Israel for help; they don't ask the Lord for advice.

2 and also he/she/it wise and to come (in): bring bad: evil and [obj] word his not to turn aside: turn aside and to arise: rise upon house: household be evil and upon help to work evil: wickedness

Yet he's also wise! He will bring disaster and won't withdraw his orders. He will take action against this wicked nation and the evil people who help them.

3 and Egypt man and not God and horse their flesh and not spirit and LORD to stretch hand his and to stumble to help and to fall: fall to help and together all their to end: destroy [emph?]

The Egyptians are only human beings—they're not God! Their horses are only physical, not spiritual. When the Lord lifts up his hand to attack, those who came to help will stumble, and those who are helped will fall. They will all die together.

4 for thus to say LORD to(wards) me like/as as which to mutter [the] lion and [the] lion upon prey his which to call: call to upon him fullness to pasture from voice their not to to be dismayed and from crowd their not to afflict so to go down LORD Hosts to/for to serve upon mountain: mount Zion and upon hill her

This is what the Lord told me: It's like a young lion growling as it stands over its prey. Even though a lot of shepherds come to protest, it's not frightened off by their shouting or intimidated by all their noise. In the same way the Lord Almighty will come down to fight on Mount Zion.

5 like/as bird to fly so to defend LORD Hosts upon Jerusalem to defend and to rescue to pass and to escape

Like birds that hover above, so the Lord Almighty will take care of Jerusalem. He will protect it and save it; he will pass over it and rescue it.

6 to return: return to/for which be deep revolt son: child Israel

Come back, Israelites, to the one you so blatantly rebelled against.

7 for in/on/with day [the] he/she/it to reject [emph?] man: anyone idol silver: money his and idol gold his which to make to/for you hand your sin

For at that time every one of you will throw away all the idols of silver and gold made by your own sinful hands.

8 and to fall: kill Assyria in/on/with sword not man and sword not man to eat him and to flee to/for him from face: before sword and youth his to/for taskworker to be

The Assyrians will be killed by the sword of one who is not a man. They will destroyed by the sword of one who is not mortal. They will run away at the sight of the sword, and the young Assyrian men will be taken away as slave laborers.

9 and crag his from terror to pass and to to be dismayed from ensign ruler his utterance LORD which flame to/for him in/on/with Zion and oven to/for him in/on/with Jerusalem

Their “rock” will be scared to death, and their officers will be terrified and in panic at the sight of the battle flag, declares the Lord, who has his fire in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
