Isaiah 30:16 Douay-Rheims

But have said: No, but we will flee to horses: therefore shall you flee. And we will mount upon swift ones: therefore shall they be swifter that shall pursue after you.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown

1871 Reformed

flee--not as fugitives, but we will speed our course; namely, against the Assyrians, by the help of cavalry supplied by Egypt (Isa 31:1). This was expressly against the Mosaic law (Deu 17:16; see on Isa 2:7; Hos 14:3). shall . . . flee--literally, "before your enemies"; their sin and its punishment correspond.
