Isaiah 31:1
Konteks31:1 Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead, 1
those who rely on war horses,
and trust in Egypt’s many chariots 2
and in their many, many horsemen. 3
But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel 4
and do not seek help from the Lord.

‘Who bore these children for me?
I was bereaved and barren,
dismissed and divorced. 6
Who raised these children?
Look, I was left all alone;
where did these children come from?’”
