Harness the horses,
And [a]mount the steeds,
And take your stand with helmets on!
(A)Polish the spears,
Put on the (B)scale-armor!
Why have I seen it?
They are shattered;
They are (C)drawing back,
And their (D)mighty men are crushed
And have fled to refuge,
Without facing back;
[b](E)Terror is on every side!”
Declares Yahweh.
Let not the (F)swift man flee,
Nor the mighty man escape;
In the north beside the river Euphrates
They have (G)stumbled and fallen.
