3"Prepare buckler and shield, and advance for battle! 4Harness the horses; mount, O horsemen! Take your stations with your helmets, polish your spears, put on your coats of mail! 5Why have I seen it? They are dismayed and have turned backward. Their warriors are beaten down, and have fled in haste; they look not back--terror on every side! says the LORD. 6The swift cannot flee away, nor the warrior escape; in the north by the river Euphra'tes they have stumbled and fallen.
Jeremiah 46:3-6 (RSV)
