- horsehoofs:
- Anciently, horses were not shod; nor are they at the present day in some parts of the East. The flight was so rapid that the hoofs of their horses were splintered and broken by the roughness of the roads; in consequence of which they became lame, and could not carry off their riders. "Some¹ [trust] in chariots,ª and some¹ in horses:ª but we¹ will rememberª° the nameª of the LORDª our God.ª" {Psa 20:7} + "An horseª [is] a vain thingª for safety:ª neither¹ shall he deliverª° [any] by his greatª strength.ª" {Psa 33:17} + "He delightethª° not¹ in the strengthª of the horse:ª he taketh not pleasureª°¹ in the legsª of a man.ª ... The LORDª taketh pleasure²° in¹¹ them that fearª him, in¹ those that hopeª° in his mercy.ª" {Psa 147:10-11} + "Whose¹ arrowsª [are] sharp,ª° and all¹ their bowsª bent,ª° their horses'ª hoofsª shall be countedª° like flint,²¹ and their wheelsª like a whirlwind:ª" {Isa 5:28} + "Because of¹ the dayª that comethª° to spoilª°¹ all¹ the Philistines,ª [and] to cut offª° from Tyrusª and Zidonª every¹ helperª° that remaineth:ª for¹ the LORDª will spoilª°¹ the Philistines,ª the remnantª of the countryª of Caphtor.ª" {Jer 47:4} + "Ariseª° and thresh,ª° O daughterª of Zion:ª for¹ I will makeª° thine hornª iron,ª and I will makeª° thy hoofsª brass:ª and thou shalt beat in piecesª° manyª people:ª and I will consecrateª° their gainª unto the LORD,ª and their substanceª unto the Lordª of the whole¹ earth.ª" {Mic 4:13}
