4. But I will turn you around. I will put hooks in your jaws. I will bring you out of your land along with your whole army. Your horses will come with you. Your horsemen will be completely armed. Your huge army will carry large and small shields. All of them will be ready to use their swords.

5. " ' "The men of Persia, Cush and Put will march out with them. All of them will have shields and helmets.
