Harness the horses! Riders, mount!
[Troops,] fall in! Helmets in place!

not looking back, terror all around?”

“Prepare your shields,(A) both large and small,
    and march out for battle!
Harness the horses,
    mount the steeds!
Take your positions
    with helmets on!
Polish(B) your spears,
    put on your armor!(C)
What do I see?
    They are terrified,
they are retreating,
    their warriors are defeated.
They flee(D) in haste
    without looking back,
    and there is terror(E) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
