Now the Egyptians are (A)men and not God,
And their (B)horses are flesh and not spirit;
So Yahweh will (C)stretch out His hand,
And (D)he who helps will stumble,
And he who is helped will fall,
And all of them will come to an end together.

For thus says Yahweh to me,

“As the (E)lion or the young lion growls over its prey,
Against which a multitude of shepherds is called out,
And it will not be dismayed at their voice nor afflicted at their noise,
So will Yahweh of hosts come down to wage (F)war on Mount Zion and on its hill.”
Like [a]flying (G)birds so Yahweh of hosts will defend Jerusalem.
He will (H)defend and deliver it;
He will pass over and provide a way of escape.
