5 “‘Why is it that I have seen them terror-stricken? They are turning back, and their mighty men themselves are crushed to pieces; and they have positively fled, and they have not turned around.+ There is fright all around,’+ is the utterance of Jehovah.

21 Furthermore, her hired [soldiers] in the midst of her are like fattened calves.+ But they themselves also have given way;+ they have fled together. They have not made a stand.+ For the very day of their disaster has come in upon them, the time of their being given attention.’+
