31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.
31 The horse H5483 is prepared H3559 against the day H3117 of battle: H4421 but safety H8668 is of the LORD. H3068
31 The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.
31 A horse is prepared for a day of battle, And the deliverance `is' of Jehovah!
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle; but safety is of Jehovah.
31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle; But victory is with Yahweh.
31 The horse is made ready for the day of war, but power to overcome is from the Lord.
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!
Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people. Selah.
An horse is a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver any by his great strength. Behold, the eye of the LORD is upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of mine head.
It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man.

Sacrifices were of divine institution; and when they were offered in faith, and with repentance and reformation, God was greatly honoured by them and well-pleased in them.
