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.

Commentary on Isaiah 31:3

Theological / Devotional

The Egyptians are men. In spite of all their vaunted wisdom and their material resources the Egyptians were still human. Isaiah here drives the point home that the strength of a nation consists not in its material advantages but in the moral and spiritual stamina of its leaders and people.
