1 He who scatters has come up before your face.Man the fort!Watch the road!Strengthen your flanks!Fortify your power mightily.
2 For the Lord will restore the excellence of JacobLike the excellence of Israel,For the emptiers have emptied them outAnd ruined their vine branches.
3 The shields of his mighty men are made red,The valiant men are in scarlet.The chariots come with flaming torchesIn the day of his preparation,And the spears are brandished.
4 The chariots rage in the streets,They jostle one another in the broad roads;They seem like torches,They run like lightning.
