3. Grab your shieldsand prepare for war!
4. Saddle the horses;mount the stallions!Take your positionswith helmets on!Polish your spears;put on your armor!
5. Why do I see them terrified,retreating in haste?Their soldiers are crushed,running for cover,and they don’t turn back.Panic lurks at every turn,declares the Lord.
6. The swift can’t flee;the mighty can’t escape.Up north by the Euphrates River,they stagger and fall.
7. Who is this that rises like the Nile,whose banks overflow?
