4 Harness the horses; and get up, ye horsemen, and stand forth with your helmets; furbish the spears, and put on the brigandines.
4 Harness the horses, mount the steeds! Take your positions with helmets on! Polish your spears, put on your armor!
4 Harness the horses; mount, O horsemen! Take your stations with your helmets, polish your spears, put on your armor!
4 Harness the horses! Up in the saddles! Battle formation! Helmets on, spears sharpened, armor in place!'
4 Harness the horses, And mount up, you horsemen! Stand forth with your helmets, Polish the spears, Put on the armor!
4 Harness the horses, and mount the stallions. Take your positions. Put on your helmets. Sharpen your spears, and prepare your armor.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Jeremiah 46:4
Commentary on Jeremiah 46:1-12
(Read Jeremiah 46:1-12)
The whole word of God is against those who obey not the gospel of Christ; but it is for those, even of the Gentiles, who turn to Him. The prophecy begins with Egypt. Let them strengthen themselves with all the art and interest they have, yet it shall be all in vain. The wounds God inflicts on his enemies, cannot be healed by medicines. Power and prosperity soon pass from one to another in this changing world.
