'Help' in the Bible

When Ephraim saw his sickness,And Judah his wound,Then Ephraim went to Assyria [instead of the Lord]And sent to [Assyria’s] great King Jareb [for help].But he cannot heal youNor will he cure you of your wound [received in judgment].

It is your destruction, O Israel,Because you are against Me, [and have rebelled] against your help.
