¹⁶ No king is saved by the size of his army;^(A)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.

¹⁶ You said, ‘No, we will flee^(A) on horses.’^(B)
    Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
    Therefore your pursuers will be swift!
¹⁷ A thousand will flee
    at the threat of one;
at the threat of five^(C)
    you will all flee^(D) away,
till you are left^(E)
    like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
    like a banner^(F) on a hill.”
