If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.

And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

And they shall be afraid and ashamed of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

Now the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses flesh, and not spirit. When the LORD shall stretch out his hand, both he that helpeth shall fall, and he that is holpen shall fall down, and they all shall fail together.

Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, and it was infinite; Put and Lubim were thy helpers.

Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
