Now the Egyptians are men and not God, and their horses are flesh and not spirit; and when the Lord stretches out His hand, both [Egypt] who helps will stumble, and [Judah] who is helped will fall, and they will all perish and be consumed together.

For the Lord has said to me, As the lion or the young lion growls over his prey—and though a large band of shepherds is called out against him, he will not be terrified at their voice or daunted at their noise—so the Lord of hosts will come down to fight upon Mount Zion and upon its hills.

Like birds hovering, so will the Lord of hosts defend Jerusalem; He will protect and deliver it, He will pass over and spare and preserve it.

But the Egyptians(A) are mere mortals and not God;(B)
    their horses(C) are flesh and not spirit.
When the Lord stretches out his hand,(D)
    those who help will stumble,
    those who are helped(E) will fall;
    all will perish together.(F)

This is what the Lord says to me:

“As a lion(G) growls,
    a great lion over its prey—
and though a whole band of shepherds(H)
    is called together against it,
it is not frightened by their shouts
    or disturbed by their clamor(I)
so the Lord Almighty will come down(J)
    to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Like birds hovering(K) overhead,
    the Lord Almighty will shield(L) Jerusalem;
he will shield it and deliver(M) it,
    he will ‘pass over’(N) it and will rescue it.”
