⁶ “Do not let the swift flee away,
Nor the mighty man escape;
They will ^(A)stumble and fall
Toward the north, by the River Euphrates.

¹² The nations have heard of your ^(A)shame,
And your cry has filled the land;
For the mighty man has stumbled against the mighty;
They both have fallen together.”

^14 (A)Therefore ^[a]flight shall perish from the swift,
The strong shall not strengthen his power,
^(B)Nor shall the mighty ^[b]deliver himself;
¹⁵ He shall not stand who handles the bow,
The swift of foot shall not ^[c]escape,
Nor shall he who rides a horse deliver himself.

³² The most ^(A)proud shall stumble and fall,
And no one will raise him up;
^(B)I will kindle a fire in his cities,
And it will devour all around him.”

¹⁶ He made many fall;
Yes, ^(A)one fell upon another.
And they said, ‘Arise!
^(B)Let us go back to our own people
And to the land of our nativity
From the oppressing sword.’

¹⁰ For this is ^(A)the day of the Lord God of hosts,
A day of vengeance,
That He may avenge Himself on His adversaries.
^(B)The sword shall devour;
It shall be ^[a]satiated and made drunk with their blood;
For the Lord God of hosts ^(C)has a sacrifice
In the north country by the River Euphrates.
