Isaiah 30:16

But ye said,—Nay! but on horses, will we flee For this cause, shall ye indeed flee,—And on the swift, will we ride, For this cause, swift, shall be your pursuers:

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

15For thus, said my Lord Yahweh, the Holy One of Israel—By returning and resting, shall ye be saved, In keeping quiet and trusting, shall be your strength,—Howbeit ye would not!

17One thousand, before the war-cry of one—before the war-cry of five, shall ye flee,—Until ye have been left, As a pole on the top of a mountain, And as an ensign upon a hill.
