1 He who scatters has come to you.Guard the fortifications!Watch the road!Prepare yourself,and strengthen yourself!
2 For the Lord is restoring the prominence of Jacob,even the prominence of Israel,for others have certainlylaid waste their vines.
3 The shields of his mighty men are soaked red,even the mighty men are clad in red.In the day he prepares the chariots,they are like a fire of iron.The cypress spears are ready.
4 The chariots run wildly through the streets,they rush to and fro in the open areas;their appearance is like torches,they dash to and fro like lightning.
