Prepare your bucklers and
    shields and march forth for battle.
Harness the horses;
    let the riders mount.
Don your helmets
    and take your stations.
Sharpen your spears
    and put on your breastplates.
What is this shameful spectacle I behold?
    They fall back in terror.
Their warriors are routed
    and are in headlong flight
    without glancing back.
There is terror on every side,
    says the Lord.

“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.
