Jeremiah 46:4-6

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁴ Harness the horses;
    mount, O horsemen!
Take your stations with your helmets,
    polish your spears,
    put on your coats of mail!
⁵ Why 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.
⁶ The swift cannot flee away,
    nor the warrior escape;
in the north by the river Euphra′tes
    they have stumbled and fallen.
