15 For thus said the [a]Lord God, the Holy one of Israel, In rest and quietness shall ye be saved: in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength, but ye would not.

16 For ye have said, No, but we will flee away upon [b]horses. Therefore shall ye flee. We will ride upon the swiftest. Therefore shall your persecutors be swifter.

17 A thousand as one shall flee at the rebuke of one: at the rebuke of five shall ye flee, till ye be left as a ship mast upon the [c]top of a mountain, and as a beacon upon an hill.

18 Yet therefore will the Lord wait, that he may have [d]mercy upon you, and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have compassion upon you: for the Lord is the God of [e]judgment. Blessed are all they that wait for him.
