Jeremiah 46:3-5

Complete Jewish Bible

³ “Prepare breastplate and shield! Advance to battle!
⁴ Harness the horses! Riders, mount!
[Troops,] fall in! Helmets in place!
Polish the spears! Coats of mail on!

⁵ “Why do I see them retreating in panic,
their heroes routed, fleeing headlong,
not looking back, terror all around?”

asks Adonai.
