15 Why have your (A)powerful ones been cut down?
They do not stand because the Lord has (B)thrust them away.
16 They have repeatedly (C)stumbled;
Indeed, they have fallen, one against another.
Then they said, ‘Get up, and (D)let’s go back
To our own people and our native land,
Away from the [a](E)sword of the oppressor!’
17 [b]They shouted there, ‘Pharaoh king of Egypt is nothing but (F)a big noise;
He has let the appointed time pass by!’
