they are retreating,
their warriors are crushed,
they flee headlong,
they never look back,
terror is on every side!
This is the Lord’s declaration.

and the warrior cannot escape!
In the north by the bank of the Euphrates River,
they stumble and fall.
7 Who is this, rising like the Nile,
like rivers whose waters churn?
