²⁸ And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.

¹⁶ And he is not to get together a great army of horses for himself, or make the people go back to Egypt to get horses for him: because the Lord has said, You will never again go back that way.

¹⁶ And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt; the king's traders got them from Kue at a price.

¹⁷ A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

¹⁶ My bed is covered with cushions of needlework, with coloured cloths of the cotton thread of Egypt;

⁹ And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.

¹ Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;

² Though he is wise, and able to send evil, and his purpose will not be changed; but he will go against the house of the evil-doers, and against those to whom they are looking for help.

³ For the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and when the Lord's hand is stretched out, the helper and he who is helped will come down together.

⁹ How then may you put to shame the least of my master's servants? and you have put your hope in Egypt for war-carriages and horsemen:

⁷ The best linen with needlework from Egypt was your sail, stretched out to be a flag for you; blue and purple from the sea-lands of Elishah gave you shade.
