⁶ I will not put faith in my bow, my sword will not be my salvation.

⁷ But I will have mercy on Judah and will give them salvation by the Lord their God, but not by the bow or the sword or by fighting or by horses or horsemen.

⁴⁷ And all these people who are here today may see that the Lord does not give salvation by sword and spear: for the fight is the Lord's, and he will give you up into our hands.

⁷ Some put their faith in carriages and some in horses; but we will be strong in the name of the Lord our God.

¹⁶ A king's salvation is not in the power of his army; a strong man does not get free by his great strength.

¹⁷ A horse is a false hope; his great power will not make any man free from danger.
