The Egyptians are men, and not God. Their horses are flesh and not spirit. The Lord puts out His hand, and the helper and the one who is helped will fall. All of them will be destroyed together.

For the Lord has said to me, “As the lion or the young lion makes noise over the food he has killed, and when a group of shepherds go against him, he will not be afraid of their voice, or troubled by their noise. In the same way, the Lord of All will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its hill.” Like flying birds, the Lord of All will keep Jerusalem safe. He will keep it safe and bring it out of trouble. He will pass over and save 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.”
