Isaiah 31:3-5

New Catholic Bible

³ The Egyptians are mortal, not divine;
    their horses are flesh, not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,
    the helper will stumble and the one helped will fall;
    all of them will perish together.

As a lion or a lion cub
    growls over its prey,
and when a band of shepherds
    gather together to drive it off,
it is not frightened by their shouting
    or daunted by their clamor,
so the Lord of hosts will come down
    to do battle on the heights of Mount Zion.
⁵ Like a hovering bird
    the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem;
he will protect and deliver it,
    he will spare and rescue it.
