Prepare buckler and shield,
    and advance for battle!(A)
Harness the horses;
    mount the steeds!
Take your stations with helmets on,
    whet the lances,
    put on coats of mail!
Why do I see them terrified?
    They have fallen back;
their warriors are beaten down
    and have fled in haste.
They do not look back—
    terror is all around!
            says the Lord.(B)

    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.
