Come up, horses; and rage, chariots! And let the mighty men come forth, the Ethiopians and the Libyans who handle the shield, and the Lydians who handle and tread the bow.
And I will set a sign among them, and I will send from them refugees to the nations of Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, drawers of the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles far away that have not heard My fame and not seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the nations.
At the noise of the stamping of the hooves of his strong horses, at the rushing of his chariots, the rumbling of his wheels; the fathers shall not look back to their sons, because of sinking of hands;
Polish the arrows, fill the shields; Jehovah has stirred up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. For His plan is against Babylon, to destroy it, because it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of His temple.
And the sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the pierced ones shall fall in Egypt. And they shall take her host, and her foundations shall be torn down.
