“The Egyptian officers shout,
‘Get your shields ready
    and march into battle!
Harness your horses and mount them!
Fall in line and put on your helmets!
    Sharpen your spears!
    Put on your armor!’

    overcome with fear, they run as fast as they can
    and do not look back.

“Prepare your shields,(A) both large and small,
    and march out for battle!
Harness the horses,
    mount the steeds!
Take your positions
    with helmets on!
Polish(B) your spears,
    put on your armor!(C)
What do I see?
    They are terrified,
they are retreating,
    their warriors are defeated.
They flee(D) in haste
    without looking back,
    and there is terror(E) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
