Polish the spears, Put on the scale-armor! ⁵ “Why have I seen it? They are terrified, They are drawing back, And their mighty men are defeated And have taken refuge in flight, Without facing back; ^cTerror is on every side!” Declares the LORD. ⁶ Let not the swift man flee, Nor the mighty man escape; In the north beside the river Euphrates They have stumbled and fallen. ⁷ Who is this that rises like the Nile, Like the rivers whose waters surge about? ⁸ Egypt rises like the Nile, Even like the rivers whose waters surge about; And He has said, “I will rise and cover that land; I will surely destroy the city and its inhabitants.” ⁹ Go up, you horses, and^d Lit act like madmendrive madly, you chariots, That the mighty men may^e Lit go forthmarch forward: Ethiopia and^f I.e.
