Isaiah 63:5

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 

Isaiah 31:3

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
