Isaiah 31:1

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for [to seek] help
and trust in their horses
and put their confidence in chariots, because they are many [Ps. 20:7],
and in horsemen because they are very powerful,
but do not look to the Holy One of Israel [for deliverance]
nor seek the Lord (Yahweh).

οὐαὶ οἱ καταβαίνοντες εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐπὶ βοήθειαν οἱ ἐφ᾽ ἵπποις πεποιθότες καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἅρμασιν ἔστιν γὰρ πολλά καὶ ἐφ᾽ ἵπποις πλῆθος σφόδρα καὶ οὐκ ἦσαν πεποιθότες ἐπὶ τὸν ἅγιον τοῦ Ισραηλ καὶ τὸν θεὸν οὐκ ἐξεζήτησαν
