3 “Deploy your shields, small and large; advance for battle!

4 Harness the horses; mount the steeds; take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears; put on armor!

5 Why am I seeing this? They are terrified, they are retreating; their warriors are defeated, they flee in haste without looking back; terror is on every side!” declares the LORD.

6 “The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall.

7 Who is this, rising like the Nile, like rivers whose waters churn?
