Jeremiah 46:3-6
King James Version
3 Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed and turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and are fled apace, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the Lord.
6 Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape; they shall stumble, and fall toward the north by the river Euphrates.

Jeremiah 46:3-6
New International Version
3 “Prepare your shields,(A) both large and small,
and march out for battle!
4 Harness the horses,
mount the steeds!
Take your positions
with helmets on!
Polish(B) your spears,
put on your armor!(C)
5 What do I see?
They are terrified,
they are retreating,
their warriors are defeated.
They flee(D) in haste
without looking back,
and there is terror(E) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
6 “The swift cannot flee(F)
nor the strong escape.
In the north by the River Euphrates(G)
they stumble and fall.(H)

And draw near to battle!
4 Harness the horses,
And mount up, you horsemen!
Stand forth with your helmets,

Their mighty ones are beaten down;
They have speedily fled,
And did not look back,
For (B)fear was all around,” says the Lord.

Nor the mighty man escape;
They will (C)stumble and fall
Toward the north, by the River Euphrates.
