TRUST Isaiah 31:1 Part 2 of 2

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, who rely on horses, who trust in the multitude of their chariots and in the great strength of their horsemen, but do not look to the Holy One of Israel, or seek help from the LORD.

who rely on horses

who trust in the multitude of their chariots

but do not look to the Holy One of Israel

Isaiah 30:12-13  Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: "Because you have rejected this message, relied on oppression and depended on deceit, this sin will become for you like a high wall, cracked and bulging, that collapses suddenly in an instant."
