63:5 I looked, but there was no one to help;
I was shocked because there was no one offering support. 1
So my right arm accomplished deliverance;
my raging anger drove me on. 2
31:3 The Egyptians are mere humans, not God;
their horses are made of flesh, not spirit.
The Lord will strike with 3 his hand;
the one who helps will stumble
and the one being helped will fall.
Together they will perish. 4
