Isaias 31:3
Egypt is man, and not God: and their horses, flesh, and not spirit: and the Lord shall put down his hand, and the helper shall fall, and he that is helped shall fall, and they shall all be confounded together.

- Vulgate (Clementine)
- Ægyptus homo, et non deus ; et equi eorum caro, et non spiritus ; et Dominus inclinabit manum suam, et corruet auxiliator, et cadet cui præstatur auxilium, simulque omnes consumentur.
- Septuagint (Swete)
- Αἰγύπτιον ἄνθρωπον καὶ οὐ θεόν, ἵππων σάρκας καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν βοήθεια· ὁ δὲ κύριος ἐπάξει τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ἐπ᾽ αὐτούς, καὶ κοπιάσουσιν οἱ βοηθοῦντες, καὶ ἅμα πάντες ἀπολοῦνται.
- Hebrew (WLC)
- וּמִצְרַ֤יִם אָדָם֙ וְֽלֹא אֵ֔ל וְסוּסֵיהֶ֥ם בָּשָׂ֖ר וְלֹא ר֑וּחַ וַֽיהוָ֞ה יַטֶּ֣ה יָד֗וֹ וְכָשַׁ֤ל עוֹזֵר֙ וְנָפַ֣ל עָזֻ֔ר וְיַחְדָּ֖ו כֻּלָּ֥ם יִכְלָיֽוּן
