Now the Egyptian is a man, and not God, and his horses flesh, and not spirit, so that as the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helps shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall down, and they shall all fail together.

For thus has the LORD spoken unto me, Like the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, even if a multitude of shepherds come forth against him, he will not be afraid of their voices, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of the hosts come down to fight for Mount Zion and for his hill.

As birds flying, so will the LORD of the hosts defend Jerusalem; defending, delivering, passing over, and saving 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.”
