Instead, you'll pursue your enemies and they'll die by the sword before you.

Five of you will chase a hundred, a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

I'll bring the sword against you to execute the vengeance of my covenant. When you gather in your cities, I'll send a pestilence. As a result, you'll be delivered into the control of your enemies.

"I'll scatter you among the nations and draw the sword after you so that your land becomes desolate and your towns become ruins.

"As for the remnants among you, I'll bring despair in their hearts in the land of their enemies so that even the sound of a blown leaf will chase them and they flee as though pursued by the sword and fall when no one is pursuing.

They'll stumble over each other as though fleeing before the sword, even though no one is pursuing.
