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

⁷ Some trust in chariots, and some in horses, But we trust the name of Yahweh our God.

³¹ The horse is prepared for the day of battle; But victory is with Yahweh.

¹⁰ He doesn't delight in the strength of the horse. He takes no pleasure in the legs of a man.

¹⁵ Yahweh confused 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, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on us.

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

¹⁹ "Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?

²⁰ Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.

²¹ He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: He goes out to meet the armed men.

²² He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither does he turn back from the sword.

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

²⁴ He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, Neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.

²⁵ As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, 'Aha!' He smells 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 happen to them all.

¹⁶ but you said, No, for we will flee on horses; therefore shall you flee: and, We will ride on the swift; therefore shall those who pursue you be swift.

³ Assyria can't save us. We won't ride on horses; Neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, 'Our gods!' For in you the fatherless finds mercy."
