²⁴ Though he flees^(A) from an iron weapon,
    a bronze-tipped arrow pierces him.^(B)

¹⁸ Whoever flees^(A) at the sound of terror
    will fall into a pit;^(B)
whoever climbs out of the pit
    will be caught in a snare.^(C)

The floodgates of the heavens^(D) are opened,
    the foundations of the earth shake.^(E)

⁵ What do I see?
    They are terrified,
they are retreating,
    their warriors are defeated.
They flee^(A) in haste
    without looking back,
    and there is terror^(B) on every side,”
declares the Lord.
