31:1 [hgb]  祸 哉 ， 那 些 下 埃 及 求 帮 助 的 ， 是 因 仗 赖 马 匹 ， 倚 靠 甚 多 的 车 辆 ， 并 倚 靠 强 壮 的 马 兵 ， 却 不 仰 望 以 色 列 的 圣 者 ， 也 不 求 问 耶 和 华 。
    [kjv]  Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
    [bbe]  Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;
31:2 [hgb]  其 实 耶 和 华 有 智 慧 。 他 必 降 灾 祸 ， 并 不 反 悔 自 己 的 话 ， 却 要 兴 起 攻 击 那 作 恶 之 家 ， 又 攻 击 那 作 孽 帮 助 人 的 。
    [kjv]  Yet he also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back his words: but will arise against the house of the evildoers, and against the help of them that work iniquity.
    [bbe]  Though he is wise, and able to send evil, and his purpose will not be changed; but he will go against the house of the evil-doers, and against those to whom they are looking for help.

    [kjv]  Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.
    [bbe]  For the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and when the Lord's hand is stretched out, the helper and he who is helped will come down together.
31:4 [hgb]  耶 和 华 对 我 如 此 说 ， 狮 子 和 少 壮 狮 子 ， 获 食 咆 哮 ， 就 是 喊 许 多 牧 人 来 攻 击 它 ， 它 总 不 因 他 们 的 声 音 惊 惶 ， 也 不 因 他 们 的 喧 哗 缩 伏 。 如 此 万 军 之 耶 和 华 ， 也 必 降 临 在 锡 安 山 冈 上 争 战 。
    [kjv]  For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount Zion, and for the hill thereof.
