Isaiah 31 warns Judah against trusting Egypt's power as a solution to its defence against Assyria. "Woe to those who go down to Egypt... who trust in their multitude of chariots... Egyptians are men not God!... the Lord will protect Judah like a lion and like hovering birds God will shield Jerusalem... so return to God... because Assyria will fall by the sword... declares the Lord whose fire is in Zion".
