And the Egyptians [are men], and not God, And their horses [are] flesh, and not spirit, And Jehovah stretcheth out His hand, And stumbled hath the helper, And fallen hath the helped one, And together all of them are consumed.

For thus said Jehovah unto me: `As growl doth the lion and the young lion over his prey, Called against whom is a multitude of shepherds, From their voice he is not affrighted, And from their noise he is not humbled; So come down doth Jehovah of Hosts To war on mount Zion, and on her height.

As birds flying, so doth Jehovah of Hosts Cover over Jerusalem, covering and delivering, Passing over, and causing to escape.'

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.”
