Jeremiah 46:3-5
Amplified Bible
3
“Line up the [a]buckler (small shield) and [large] shield,
And advance for battle!

“Harness the horses,
And mount, you riders!
Take your stand with your helmets!
Polish the spears,
Put on the coats of mail!

“Why have I seen it?
They are terrified
And have turned back,
And their warriors are beaten down.
They take flight in haste
Without looking back;
Terror is on every side!”
Says the Lord.(A)
