You say,“ No! We will escape on horses”— therefore you will escape!— and,“ We will ride on fast horses”— but those who pursue you will be faster.

你们却说：“不然，我们要骑马奔走。”所以你们必然奔走；又说：“我们要骑飞快的牲口。”所以追赶你们的，也必飞快。

你们却说：“不！我们要骑马奔跑。”所以你们真的要逃跑；你们又说：“我们要骑快马。”所以那些追赶你们的，也必快速！

还说：“不，我们要骑马逃跑！”因此你们真的会逃跑；你们又说：“我们要骑飞快的马！”因此追赶你们的人也会飞快。

你們卻說：不然，我們要騎馬奔走。所以你們必然奔走；又說：我們要騎飛快的牲口。所以追趕你們的，也必飛快。

爾曰、不然、我將乘馬而奔、故爾必奔、又曰、我乘迅疾之騎、故追爾者亦迅疾焉、

爾曰、必馳馬以前驅、主必使爾猝然以避敵、爾又曰、必乘馬而疾馳、主必使追爾者、馳騁而至、

爾云、不然、我必乘馬以奔馳、故爾必致奔逃、爾又云、必乘迅速之牲畜、故逐爾者亦必迅速、

You said,‘ No, we will flee on horses.’ Therefore you will flee! You said,‘ We will ride off on swift horses.’ Therefore your pursuers will be swift!

You said,‘ No. We’ll escape on horses.’ So you will have to escape! You said,‘ We’ll ride off on fast horses.’ So those who chase you will use faster horses!

and you said,“ No! We will flee upon horses”; therefore you shall flee away; and,“ We will ride upon swift steeds”; therefore your pursuers shall be swift.

You said,‘ No, we will get our help from Egypt. They will give us swift horses for riding into battle.’ But the only swiftness you are going to see is the swiftness of your enemies chasing you!

And you said,“ No, for we will flee on horses!” Therefore you shall flee!“ And we will ride on swift horses!” Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

And you said,“ No, for we will flee on horses”— Therefore you shall flee! And,“ We will ride on swift horses”— Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!

but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

You say,“ No! We will escape on horses”— therefore you will escape!— and,“ We will ride on fast horses”— but those who pursue you will be faster.

But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

You say,‘ No, we will flee on horses,’ so you will indeed flee. You say,‘ We will ride on fast horses,’ so your pursuers will be fast.

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.

Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help and who depend on horses! They trust in the abundance of chariots and in the large number of horsemen. They do not look to the Holy One of Israel, and they do not seek the LORD.

Egyptians are men, not God; their horses are flesh, not spirit. When the LORD raises his hand to strike, the helper will stumble and the one who is helped will fall; both will perish together.

The LORD will bring a nation from far away, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down on you like an eagle, a nation whose language you won’t understand,

Their horses are swifter than leopards and more fierce than wolves of the night. Their horsemen charge ahead; their horsemen come from distant lands. They fly like eagles, swooping to devour.

He raises a signal flag for the distant nations and whistles for them from the ends of the earth. Look— how quickly and swiftly they come!None of them grows weary or stumbles; no one slumbers or sleeps. No belt is loose and no sandal strap broken.Their arrows are sharpened, and all their bows strung. Their horses’ hooves are like flint; their chariot wheels are like a whirlwind.Their roaring is like a lion’s; they roar like young lions; they growl and seize their prey and carry it off, and no one can rescue it.On that day they will roar over it, like the roaring of the sea. When one looks at the land, there will be darkness and distress; light will be obscured by clouds.

Assyria has come to Aiath and has gone through Migron, storing their equipment at Michmash.They crossed over at the ford, saying,“ We will spend the night at Geba.” The people of Ramah are trembling; those at Gibeah of Saul have fled.Cry aloud, daughter of Gallim! Listen, Laishah! Anathoth is miserable.Madmenah has fled. The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.Today the Assyrians will stand at Nob, shaking their fists at the mountain of Daughter Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

The horse is a false hope for safety; it provides no escape by its great power.

I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said: Strike the capitals of the pillars so that the thresholds shake; knock them down on the heads of all the people. Then I will kill the rest of them with the sword. None of those who flee will get away; none of the fugitives will escape.

Then the city was broken into, and all the warriors fled. They left the city at night by way of the city gate between the two walls near the king’s garden, though the Chaldeans surrounded the city. They made their way along the route to the Arabah.

the Chaldean army pursued him and overtook him in the plains of Jericho. Zedekiah’s entire army left him and scattered.

Escape will fail the swift, the strong one will not maintain his strength, and the warrior will not save his life.The archer will not stand his ground, the one who is swift of foot will not save himself, and the one riding a horse will not save his life.Even the most courageous of the warriors will flee naked on that day— this is the LORD’s declaration.

He is not impressed by the strength of a horse; he does not value the power of a warrior.

Those who chased us were swifter than eagles in the sky; they relentlessly pursued us over the mountains and ambushed us in the wilderness.

The LORD will cause you to be defeated before your enemies. You will march out against them from one direction but flee from them in seven directions. You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.

Harness the horses to the chariot, you residents of Lachish. This was the beginning of sin for Daughter Zion because Israel’s acts of rebellion can be traced to you.

Look, he advances like clouds; his chariots are like a storm. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are ruined!
