Isaiah 30:15-17

New King James Version

^(A)“In returning and rest you shall be saved;
In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”
^(B)But you would not,
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 (C)One thousand shall flee at the threat of one,
At the threat of five you shall flee,
Till you are left as a ^[a]pole on top of a mountain
And as a banner on a hill.
