Daily Meditation
6 Turn ye unto him
from whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.
Today’s Reading
Isaiah 31
Woe to them that go
down to Egypt for help
1 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! 2 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. 3 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.
4 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. 5 As birds
flying, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will
deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
6 Turn ye unto him from whom the children of
Israel have deeply revolted. 7 For in that day every man shall cast away his
idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your own hands have made unto you
for a sin.
8 Then shall the Assyrian fall with the sword, not of a mighty man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: but he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall be discomfited. 9 And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
