“In repentance and rest^(C) is your salvation,
    in quietness and trust^(D) is your strength,
    but you would have none of it.^(E)
16 You said, ‘No, we will flee^(F) on horses.’^(G)
    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^(H)
    you will all flee^(I) away,
till you are left^(J)
    like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
    like a banner^(K) on a hill.”
