¹⁶ A king is not saved by his great army;
    a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.^(A)

¹⁶ and said,
‘No! We will flee upon horses’—
    therefore you shall flee!
and, ‘We will ride upon swift steeds’—
    therefore your pursuers shall be swift!^(A)

¹⁷ A thousand shall flee at the threat of one;
    at the threat of five you shall flee
until you are left
    like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain,
    like a signal on a hill.^(A)
