Isaiah 30:15-17

Modern English Version

In returning and rest you shall be saved;
    in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength.
    Yet you were not willing,
¹⁶ and you said, “No, for we will flee on horses”;
    therefore you shall flee.
“And we will ride on swift horses”;
    therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
¹⁷ One thousand shall flee
    at the threat of one man;
at the threat of five
    you shall flee
until you are left
    as a flag on the top of a mountain
    and as a banner on a hill.
