Yesaya 19:20

Yesaya 31:3

31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;

their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.

The Lord will strike with ⁴  his hand;

the one who helps will stumble

and the one being helped will fall.

Together they will perish. ⁵ 

Yesaya 58:9

58:9 Then you will call out, and the Lord will respond;
