Why do they fear, and turn back? even because their mighty men shall be slain: they have utterly fled, and being hemmed in they have not rallied, saith the Lord. |

46:5
Wherefore°
have I seen°°
them°
dismayed°
[and] turned°°
away°
back?°
and their mighty ones°
are beaten down,°°
and are fled°°
apace,°°
and look not back:°°°
[for] fear°
[was] round about,°°
saith°°
Yahweh.° |
|
46:6
Let not the swift flee, and let not the mighty man escape to the north: the [forces] at Euphrates are become feeble, and they have fallen. |

the earth;°
I will destroy°°
the city°
and the inhabitants°°
thereof. |

and take°°
balm,°
O virgin,°
the daughter°
of Egypt:°
in vain°

medicines;°
[for] thou shalt not°
be cured.° |
|
46:12
The nations have heard thy voice, and the land has been filled with thy cry: for the warriors have fainted fighting one against another, [and] both are fallen together. |
|
46:12
The nations°
have heard°°
of thy shame,°
and thy cry°
hath filled°°
the land:°
for°
the mighty man°
hath stumbled°°
against the mighty,°
[and] they are fallen°°

because°
Yahweh°
did drive°°
them. |

from the land°°
of their captivity;°
and Jacob°
shall return,°°
and be in rest°°

thee: but I will not°
make°°
a full end°
of thee, but correct°°
thee in measure;°
yet will I not°
leave thee wholly°°
unpunished.°° |
