2 Chronicles 25:8

8But go, act, be strong for the battle. Why should you suppose that God will cast you down before the enemy? aFor God has power to help or to cast down.”

Jeremiah 46:3-10

3 bPrepare buckler and shield,
and advance for battle!
4 cHarness the horses;
mount, O horsemen!
Take your stations with your helmets,
dpolish your spears,
put on your armor!
5Why have I seen it?
They are dismayed
and have turned backward.
Their ewarriors are beaten down
and have fled in haste;
fthey look not back
gterror on every side!

declares the Lord.
6 “The swift cannot flee away,
nor the warrior escape;
hin the north by the river Euphrates
ithey have stumbled and fallen.
7 Who is this, jrising like the Nile,
like rivers kwhose waters surge?
8Egypt rises like the Nile,
like rivers lwhose waters surge.
He said, ‘I will rise, I will cover the earth,
I will destroy cities and their inhabitants.’
9 mAdvance, O horses,
and rage, O chariots!
Let the warriors go out:
men of Cush and nPut who handle the shield,
omen of Lud, skilled in handling the bow.
10 pThat day is the day of the Lord God of hosts,
qa day of vengeance,
rto avenge himself on his foes.
sThe sword shall devour and be sated
and drink its fill of their blood.
For the Lord God of hosts holds ta sacrifice
uin the north country vby the river Euphrates.

Jeremiah 51:11-12

11 wSharpen the arrows!
Take up the shields!
xThe Lord has stirred up the spirit of the kings of ythe Medes, because zhis purpose concerning Babylon is to destroy it, aafor that is the vengeance of the Lord, the vengeance for abhis temple.

12 ac“Set up a standard against the walls of Babylon;
admake the watch strong;
set up watchmen;
prepare the ambushes;
aefor the Lord has both planned and done
what he spoke concerning the inhabitants of Babylon.

Joel 3:9-11

9 Proclaim this among the nations:
afConsecrate for war;
Or  Consecrate a war

stir up the mighty men.
Let all the men of war draw near;
let them come up.
10 ahBeat your plowshares into swords,
and aiyour pruning hooks into spears;
let the weak say, “I am a warrior.”
11 ajHasten and come,
all you surrounding nations,
and gather yourselves there.
akBring down your warriors, O Lord.

Nahum 3:14-15

14 alDraw water for the siege;
amstrengthen your forts;
go into the clay;
tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick mold!
15There will the fire devour you;
the sword will cut you off.
It will andevour you aolike the locust.
Multiply yourselves aplike the locust;
multiply aqlike the grasshopper!
