Jeremiah 46:3-5

Modern English Version

³ Order the buckler and shield,
    and draw near to battle!
⁴ Harness the horses;
    mount the steeds!
Take your positions
    with your helmets,
polish the spears,
    put on the armor!
⁵ Why have I seen them
    dismayed and drawing back?
Their mighty ones are beaten down
    and have taken refuge in flight,
and not looking back.
    Terror is on every side!
    says the Lord.
