23. Equipped with bow and spear,they are cruel;they show no mercy.Their horsemen soundlike the roaring sea,arrayed in battle formationagainst you, Daughter Zion.
24. We have heard reports of themand are panic-stricken;distress overwhelms us,pain like that of a woman in labor.
25. Don’t go out into the field!Don’t walk on the road!The enemies’ swordterrorizes at every turn.
