3 Line up your buckler and shield and draw near to war:
4 hitch the horses and ascend, you cavalry and stand with helmets: polish the javelins; enrobe the brigandines.
5 Why see I them terrorized? - apostatizing backward and their mighty crushed? - fleeing to a retreat, and not facing back? with terror all around? - an oracle of Yah Veh.
6 Neither the swift flee nor the mighty escape; they stumble and falter northward by the hand of the river Euphrates.
7 Who is this - ascending as a river? - whose waters agitate as the rivers?
8 Misrayim ascends as a river and his waters agitate as the rivers: and he says, I ascend and cover the earth; I destroy the city and the settlers.
9 Ascend, you horses! Halal, you chariots! Go forth, you mighty! - Kushies and Puties, manipulating the buckler; and Ludiym, manipulating and bending the bow:
10 for this is the day of Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth - a day of avengement, to avenge him of his tribulators: and the sword devours and satiates - satiates with their blood for a sacrifice to Adonay Yah Veh Sabaoth in the north land by the river Euphrates.
