Isaiah 31:3-5
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 Now the Egyptians are (A)men and not God,
And their (B)horses are flesh and not spirit;
So the Lord 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.
4 For thus says the Lord to me,
“As the (E)lion or the young lion growls over his prey,
Against which a band of shepherds is called out,
And he will not be terrified at their voice nor disturbed at their noise,
So will the Lord of hosts come down to wage (F)war on Mount Zion and on its hill.”
5 Like [a]flying (G)birds so the Lord of hosts will protect Jerusalem.
He will (H)protect and deliver it;
He will pass over and rescue it.

Isaiah 31:3-5
New International Version
3 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)
4 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.
5 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.”
