Isa.30.16

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.

Isa.30.16

You've said, "Nothing doing! We'll rush off on horseback!' You'll rush off, all right! Just not far enough! You've said, "We'll ride off on fast horses!' Do you think your pursuers ride old nags?

Isa.30.16

And you said, "No, for we will flee on horses"-- Therefore you shall flee! And, "We will ride on swift horses"-- Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift!

Isa.30.16

You said, `No, we will get our help from Egypt. They will give us swift horses for riding into battle.' But the only swiftness you are going to see is the swiftness of your enemies chasing you!
