3. Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4. Harness the horses; and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the coats of mail.
5. Why have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and look not back: for fear was on all sides, saith the LORD.
6. Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape! they shall stumble, and fall towards the north by the river Euphrates.
7. Who is this that cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8. Egypt riseth up like a flood, and his waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, and will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.
9. Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: the Cushites and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians that handle and bend the bow.
