¹⁷ A horse is a vain thing for safety; Neither doth he deliver any by his great power.

⁷ Some `trust' in chariots, and some in horses; But we will make mention of the name of Jehovah our God.

³¹ The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.

¹⁰ He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹⁵ And Jehovah discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.

⁶ For the Lord had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.

⁷ Wherefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

¹⁹ Hast thou given the horse `his' might? Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?

²⁰ Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.

²¹ He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men.

²² He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword.

²³ The quiver rattleth against him, The flashing spear and the javelin.

²⁴ He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet.

²⁵ As oft as the trumpet `soundeth' he saith, Aha! And he smelleth the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

¹¹ I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

¹⁶ but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

³ Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride upon horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, `Ye are' our gods; for in thee the fatherless findeth mercy.
