    nor the mighty man escape.

    they have stumbled and fallen.

    whose waters toss themselves like the rivers?

  4. 9Go up, you horses!
    Rage, you chariots!
    Let the mighty men go out:
    Cush and Put, who handle the shield;
    and the Ludim, who handle and bend the bow.
  5. 10For that day is of the Lord, Yahweh of Armies,
    a day of vengeance,
    that he may avenge himself of his adversaries.
    The sword will devour and be satiated,
    and will drink its fill of their blood;
    for the Lord, Yahweh of Armies, has a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
