but you said, “No, for we will flee on horses;”
therefore you will flee; and, “We will ride on the swift;”
therefore those who pursue you will be swift.
One thousand will flee at the threat of one.
At the threat of five, you will flee until you are left like a beacon on the top of a mountain, and like a banner on a hill.
Therefore the LORD will wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy on you, for the LORD is a God of justice.
Blessed are all those who wait for him.
