5 “If you have run with the footmen, and they have wearied you,
Then how can you contend with horses?
And if in the land of peace,
In which you trusted, they wearied you,
Then how will you do in athe floodplain of the Jordan?

Even they have dealt treacherously with you;
Yes, they have called1 a multitude after you.

Even though they speak1 smooth words to you.
