The Attack of the Enemy

The enemy who will scatter you is advancing against you! Guard the rampart! Watch the road! Prepare for battle! Muster all your great strength! For the Lord is about to restore the majesty of Jacob, as well as the majesty of Israel, even though their enemies have plundered them completely and have destroyed their vines.

    The steel fittings[a] of the chariots shine like fire on the day of battle.
    The soldiers shake their spears.[b]
