The word of woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and the LORD’s word that the LORD of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion

도움을 구하러 애굽으로 내려가는 자들을 두고 이르는 말과 시온산과 그 영 위에서 싸우리라는 만군의 여호와의 말씀

Isaiah 31:1–9: the text says, “Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek the LORD! Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.” The LORD says to the speaker (“I”), “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so the LORD of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights. As birds hovering, so the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.” WEB opens 31:4 with “For the LORD says to me”, and the text does not say who the speaker is. The text goes on, “Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel. For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.” Then the text says, “‘The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor. His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,’ says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.” The Korean Revised Version names the LORD at 31:2 (여호와께서도 지혜로우신즉), where WEB reads “Yet he also is wise”, and names Egypt at 31:3 (애굽은 사람이요 신이 아니며), where WEB reads “Now the Egyptians are men, and not God”. At 31:4–5 it has the LORD of Armies speak of himself in the first person (나 만군의 여호와가 강림하여; 나 만군의 여호와가 예루살렘을 보호할 것이라) and closes the words at the end of 31:5 (하셨나니). It names Assyria at 31:8 (앗수르는), where WEB reads “The Assyrian”, and at 31:9 gives 이는 여호와의 말씀이라 and then a sentence of its own, 여호와의 불은 시온에 있고 여호와의 풀무는 예루살렘에 있느니라.

    1Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek the LORD!

    2Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity.

    3Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.

    4For the LORD says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so the LORD of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

    5As birds hovering, so the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.”

    6Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel.

    7For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.

    8“The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. He will flee from the sword, and his young men will become subject to forced labor.

    9His rock will pass away by reason of terror, and his princes will be afraid of the banner,” says the LORD, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.

Current wording: Isaiah 31:1–9: the text says, “Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and rely on horses, and trust in chariots because they are many, and in horsemen because they are very strong, but they don’t look to the Holy One of Israel, and they don’t seek the LORD! Yet he also is wise, and will bring disaster, and will not call back his words, but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of those who work iniquity. Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD stretches out his hand, both he who helps shall stumble, and he who is helped shall fall, and they all shall be consumed together.” The LORD says to the speaker (“I”), “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so the LORD of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights. As birds hovering, so the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.” WEB opens 31:4 with “For the LORD says to me”, and the text does not say who the speaker is. The text goes on, “Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel. For in that day everyone shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold—sin which your own hands have made for you.” Then the text says, “‘The Assyrian will fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him.
