but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.

Saying, No, for we will go in flight on horses; so you will certainly go in flight: and, We will go on the backs of quick-running beasts; so those who go after you will be quick-footed.

και ειπετε, Ουχι· αλλα θελομεν φευγει εφιπποι· δια τουτο θελετε φευγει· και, Θελομεν ιππευσει επι ταχυποδας· δια τουτο οι διωκοντες σας θελουσιν εισθαι ταχυποδες.

But ye said, No; for we will flee upon horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will ride upon the swift; therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
