1. When you go out to war against your enemies and you see horses and chariots and an army greater than your own, you shall not be afraid of them, for the Lord, your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt, will be with you.
2. When you are drawing near to battle, the priest shall come forward and speak to the army,
3. and say to them, “Hear, O Israel! Today you are drawing near for battle against your enemies. Do not be weakhearted or afraid, alarmed or frightened by them.
4. For it is the Lord, your God, who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies and give you victory.”
