Bible textSynthetic voice (AI)
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! See also: Psalms 20:7Jeremiah 17:5Deuteronomy 17:16Yet 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. See also: Numbers 23:19Isaiah 45:7Matthew 24:35Now 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. See also: Isaiah 9:17Ezekiel 20:33-34Ezekiel 28:9For 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. See also: Amos 3:8Hosea 11:10Zechariah 2:5As birds hovering, so the LORD of Armies will protect Jerusalem. He will protect and deliver it. He will pass over and preserve it.” See also: Psalms 91:4Psalms 37:40Deuteronomy 32:11Return to him from whom you have deeply revolted, children of Israel. See also: Jeremiah 3:22Jeremiah 3:14Isaiah 55:7For 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. See also: Isaiah 30:22Isaiah 2:20Ezekiel 36:25“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. See also: Isaiah 14:25Genesis 49:15Isaiah 10:16-19His 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. See also: Isaiah 29:6Malachi 4:1Leviticus 6:13

Notes · Haydock (1859, public domain)9 notes
Notes in English 19th-century Catholic commentary by Fr. George Leo Haydock, shown as published.
These notes keep the polemics of their time: some speak harshly of the Jewish people or of other Christians. The Church teaches otherwise today. The Jewish people may not be blamed for the death of Christ (Nostra Aetate 4; Catechism 597–598), and Christians of other communities are our brothers and sisters in the Lord (Unitatis Redintegratio 3).
