Context Reading
4Harness the horses, and get up, you horsemen,and stand up with your helmets.Polish the spears,put on the coats of mail. 5Why have I seen it?They are dismayed and are turned backward.Their mighty ones are beaten down,have fled in haste,and don’t look back.Terror is on every side,”says Yahweh. 6“Don’t let the swift flee away,nor the mighty man escape.In the north by the river Euphratesthey have stumbled and fallen. 7“Who is this who rises up like the Nile,like rivers whose waters surge? 8Egypt rises up like the Nile,like rivers whose waters surge.He says, ‘I will rise up. I will cover the earth.I will destroy cities and its inhabitants.’
