16 Only he should not increase horses for himself,+ nor make the people go back to Egypt in order to increase horses;+ whereas Jehovah has said to YOU, ‘YOU must never go back again by this way.’

2 those who are setting out to go down to Egypt+ and who have not inquired of my own mouth,+ to take shelter in the stronghold of Pharʹaoh and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!+

31 Woe to those going down to Egypt for assistance,+ those who rely on mere horses,+ and who put their trust in war chariots,+ because they are numerous, and in steeds,* because they are very mighty, but who have not looked to the Holy One of Israel and have not searched for Jehovah himself.+

5 And there was a military force of Pharʹaoh that came out of Egypt;+ and the Chal·deʹans that were laying siege to Jerusalem got to hear the report about them. So they withdrew from against Jerusalem.+
