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.
The swift cannot flee,
    nor can the brave warriors escape.
In the north, by the River Euphrates,
    they have stumbled and fallen.

Polish(A) your spears,
    put on your armor!(B)
What do I see?
    They are terrified,
they are retreating,
    their warriors are defeated.
They flee(C) in haste
    without looking back,
    and there is terror(D) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
“The swift cannot flee(E)
    nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates(F)
    they stumble and fall.(G)

Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.
