16But ye said, No; for qwe will flee upon horses;
Therefore shall ye flee:
And, qWe will ride upon rthe swift;
Therefore shall they that pursue you be swift.
17sOne thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one;
At the rebuke of five shall ye flee:
Till ye be left as ||a beacon upon the top of a mountain,
And as ttan ensign on an hill.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
and you said,
“No! We will flee upon horses”;
therefore you shall flee away;
and, “We will ride upon swift steeds”;
therefore your pursuers shall be swift.
A thousand shall flee at the threat of one;
at the threat of five you shall flee,
till you are left
like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain,
like a signal on a hill.

NIVNew International Version (2011)
You said, ‘No, we will flee on horses.’
Therefore you will flee!
You said, ‘We will ride off on swift horses.’
Therefore your pursuers will be swift!
A thousand will flee
at the threat of one;
at the threat of five
you will all flee away,
till you are left
like a flagstaff on a mountaintop,
like a banner on a hill.”

CSBChristian Standard Bible
You say, “No!
We will escape on horses”—
therefore you will escape!—
and, “We will ride on fast horses”—
but those who pursue you will be faster.
One thousand will flee at the threat of one,
at the threat of five you will flee,
until you remain
like a solitary pole on a mountaintop
or a banner on a hill.

NLTNew Living Translation
You said, ‘No, we will get our help from Egypt.
They will give us swift horses for riding into battle.’
But the only swiftness you are going to see
is the swiftness of your enemies chasing you!
One of them will chase a thousand of you.
Five of them will make all of you flee.
You will be left like a lonely flagpole on a hill
or a tattered banner on a distant mountaintop.”

and you said,
“No! For we will flee on horses!” Therefore you shall flee!
And, “We will ride on swift horses!” Therefore your pursuers shall be swift!
One thousand because of a threat of one,
because of a threat of five you shall flee,
until you are left like a flagstaff on top of a mountain,
and like a signal on a hill.
