1 A RULER has come up against you who keeps a watch, guards the road, and girds loins; whose strength is exceedingly great. 2 For the LORD will restore the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the oppressors have trampled upon them and destroyed their branches. 3 The shields of their mighty men are red, the valiant men parade with flaming torches and in chariots in the day of their preparation, and the horsemen are terrifying. 4 In the streets they sing praises and glory in their chariots, their appearance is like torches; they run like lightning. 5 The soldiers are obedient to their officers; they stumble as they march; they make haste to the wall, and the battlements are prepared.
