Jeremiah 46:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 Make ready the horses, and let the horsemen get up, and stand up with your sallets, furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
5 [a]Wherefore have I seen them afraid, and driven back? for their mighty men are smitten, and are fled away, and look not back: for fear was round about, saith the Lord.
6 The swift shall not flee away, nor the strong man escape: they shall stumble, and [b]fall toward the North by the river Perath.

4 Harness the horses,
mount the steeds!
Take your positions
with helmets on!
Polish(A) your spears,
put on your armor!(B)

They are terrified,
they are retreating,
their warriors are defeated.
They flee(C) in haste

In the north by the River Euphrates(F)
