³⁰ How could one pursue a thousand,
or two put ten thousand to flight,^(A)
unless their Rock had sold them,
unless the Lord had given them up?^(B)

¹⁷ One thousand will flee at the threat of one,^(A)
at the threat of five you will flee,
until you remain
like a solitary pole on a mountaintop
or a banner on a hill.
