9:23
“Wise people should not boast that they are wise.
Powerful people should not boast that they are powerful.
Rich people should not boast that they are rich.
14:9 Why should you be like someone who is helpless,
like a champion
You are indeed with us,
and we belong to you.
Do not abandon us!”
46:5 What do I see?”
“The soldiers
They are retreating.
They have been defeated.
They are overcome with terror;
they desert quickly
without looking back.
46:6 But even the swiftest cannot get away.
Even the strongest cannot escape.
There in the north by the Euphrates River
they stumble and fall in defeat.
46:9 Go ahead and
Drive furiously, you charioteers!
Let the soldiers march out into battle,
those from Ethiopia and Libya who carry shields,
and those from Lydia
48:41 Her towns
Her fortresses will be taken.
At that time the soldiers of Moab will be frightened
like a woman in labor.
49:22 Look! Like an eagle with outspread wings,
a nation will soar up and swoop down on Bozrah.
At that time the soldiers of Edom will be as fearful
as a woman in labor.”
51:30 The soldiers of Babylonia will stop fighting.
They will remain in their fortified cities.
They will lose their strength to do battle.
They will be as frightened as women.
The houses in her cities will be set on fire.
The gates of her cities will be broken down.
51:56 For a destroyer is attacking Babylon.
Her warriors will be captured;
their bows will be broken.
For the Lord is a God who punishes;
he pays back in full.
51:57 “I will make her officials and wise men drunk,
along with her governors, leaders,
They will fall asleep forever and never wake up,”
says the King whose name is the Lord who rules over all.
