ISAIAH CHAPTER 31 The folly and punishment of trust in Egypt, Isaiah 31:1-3. God will fight for Jerusalem, Isaiah 31:4,5, if they will turn unto him, Isaiah 31:6,7. The fall of Assyria, Isaiah 31:8,9. That go down to Egypt for help; as the Jews did, contrary to God's command, Deuteronomy 17:16. And stay on horses; for Egypt had many and choice horses. They look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the Lord; their confidence in the creature was accompanied with and did produce a distrust of God, and a neglect of seeking to him by prayer for his help.
