ה֣וֹי הַיֹּרְדִ֤ים מִצְרַ֙יִם֙ לְעֶזְרָ֔ה עַל־סוּסִ֖ים יִשָּׁעֵ֑נוּ וַיִּבְטְח֨וּ עַל־רֶ֜כֶב כִּ֣י רָ֗ב וְעַ֤ל פָּֽרָשִׁים֙ כִּֽי־עָצְמ֣וּ מְאֹ֔ד וְלֹ֤א שָׁעוּ֙ עַל־קְד֣וֹשׁ יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל וְאֶת־יְהוָ֖ה לֹ֥א דָרָֽשׁוּ׃
Celakalah mereka yang turun ke Mesir untuk mencari pertolongan, yang bersandar pada kuda-kuda, dan menaruh kepercayaan pada kereta perang karena jumlahnya banyak, serta pada pasukan berkuda karena mereka sangat kuat, tetapi mereka tidak berpaling kepada Yang Mahakudus Israel dan tidak mencari Yang Mahakekal!
Rashi
Woe Concerning Hoshea and the ten tribes who went down to Egypt for aid, who sent emissaries to So, king of Egypt (II Kings 17).
Ibn Ezra
אוי ═ הוי Woe!1See c. i., Note 13.—Woe unto those that go down to Egypt, that do not see the deliverance that is coming, and go thither in order to be saved, but will in fact perish there.
Rashi
