¹⁷ Don’t count on your warhorse to give you victory—
    for all its strength, it cannot save you.

³¹ The horse is prepared for the day of battle,
    but the victory belongs to the Lord.

⁷ Some nations boast of their chariots and horses,
    but we boast in the name of the Lord our God.

¹⁰ He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse
    or in human might.

¹⁹ “Have you given the horse its strength
    or clothed its neck with a flowing mane?
²⁰ Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust?
    Its majestic snorting is terrifying!
²¹ It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength
    when it charges out to battle.
²² It laughs at fear and is unafraid.
    It does not run from the sword.
²³ The arrows rattle against it,
    and the spear and javelin flash.
²⁴ It paws the ground fiercely
    and rushes forward into battle when the ram’s horn blows.
²⁵ It snorts at the sound of the horn.
    It senses the battle in the distance.
    It quivers at the captain’s commands and the noise of battle.

¹⁶ You said, ‘No, we will get our help from Egypt.
    They will give us swift horses for riding into battle.’
But the only swiftness you are going to see
    is the swiftness of your enemies chasing you!
