Isaiah 31:3
Woe to Those Who Rely on Egypt
2Yet He too is wise and brings disaster; He does not call back His words. He will rise up against the house of the wicked and against the allies of evildoers. 3But the Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD stretches out His hand, the helper will stumble, and the one he helps will fall; both will perish together.

Translation for Translators
The soldiers of Egypt that you people of Judah are relying on are humans, not God! And their horses are only horses; they are not powerful spirits! So when Yahweh raises his fist to strike/punish the soldiers of Egypt whom you thought would help you,
he will also strike you who thought that you would be helped,
and you and they will stumble and fall down;
all of you will die together.
