Isaiah 31:3-5
Complete Jewish Bible
3 Now the Egyptians are men and not God,
and their horses flesh and not spirit.
So when Adonai stretches out his hand,
both he who helps will stumble,
and he who is helped will fall;
both will perish together.
4 For here is what Adonai says to me:
“As a lion or lion cub growls at its prey
and isn’t frightened away by the shouts
of hordes of shepherds called out against him —
their voices do not upset him —
so likewise Adonai-Tzva’ot will descend
to fight on Mount Tziyon, on its hill.
5 Like hovering birds, Adonai-Tzva’ot
will protect Yerushalayim.
In protecting it, he will rescue it;
in sparing it, he will save 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.”
