Jeremiah 46:5 Context
3Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw neere to battell. 4Harnesse the horses, and get vp ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets, furbish the speares, and put on the brigandines. 5Wherefore haue I seene them dismaid, and turned away backe? and their mightie ones are beaten downe, & are fled apace, and looke not back: for feare was round about, saith the Lord. 6Let not the swift flee away, nor the mightie man escape: they shal stumble and fall toward the North by the riuer Euphrates. 7Who is this that cōmeth vp as a flood, whose waters are moued as þe riuers?
