His descendants will be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Sharp arrows will come from the warrior, with burning coals of the broom tree!

Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are children born in one’s youth.

He who is slow to anger is better than a warrior, and he who controls his temper is greater than one who captures a city.

A wise man scales the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust.

…a lion, mighty among beasts, refusing to retreat before anything;

I saw something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong; neither is the bread to the wise, nor the wealth to the intelligent, nor the favor to the skillful. For time and chance happen to all.

Behold, it is Solomon’s carriage, escorted by sixty of the mightiest men of Israel.

Your neck is like the tower of David, built with rows of stones; on it hang a thousand shields, all of them shields of warriors.

…the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the soothsayer and the elder,

Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine and champions in mixing strong drink,

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given, and the government will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

A remnant will return—a remnant of Jacob—to the Mighty God.

I have commanded My sanctified ones; I have even summoned My warriors to execute My wrath and exult in My triumph.

The remaining archers, the warriors of Kedar, will be few.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.

The LORD goes forth like a mighty one; He stirs up His zeal like a warrior. He shouts; yes, He roars in triumph over His enemies:

Can the plunder be snatched from the mighty, or the captives of a tyrant be delivered?

Indeed, this is what the LORD says: “Even the captives of the mighty will be taken away, and the plunder of the tyrant will be retrieved; I will contend with those who contend with you, and I will save your children.

Their quivers are like open graves; they are all mighty men.

This is what the LORD says: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, nor the strong man in his strength, nor the wealthy man in his riches.

Why are You like a man taken by surprise, like a warrior powerless to save? Yet You are among us, O LORD, and we are called by Your name. Do not forsake us!

But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten.

King Jehoiakim and all his mighty men and officials heard his words, and the king sought to put him to death. But when Uriah found out about it, he fled in fear and went to Egypt.

You show loving devotion to thousands but lay the iniquity of the fathers into the laps of their children after them, O great and mighty God whose name is the LORD of Hosts,

Why am I seeing this? They are terrified, they are retreating; their warriors are defeated, they flee in haste without looking back; terror is on every side!” declares the LORD.

“The swift cannot flee, and the warrior cannot escape! In the north by the River Euphrates they stumble and fall.

Advance, O horses! Race furiously, O chariots! Let the warriors come forth—Cush and Put carrying their shields, men of Lydia drawing the bow.

The nations have heard of your shame, and your outcry fills the earth, because warrior stumbles over warrior and both of them have fallen together.”

How can you say, ‘We are warriors, mighty men ready for battle’?

Kirioth has been taken, and the strongholds seized. In that day the heart of Moab’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

Look! An eagle will soar and swoop down, spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s mighty men will be like the heart of a woman in labor.

For behold, I stir up and bring against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the land of the north. They will line up against her; from the north she will be captured. Their arrows will be like skilled warriors who do not return empty-handed.

A sword is against her false prophets, and they will become fools. A sword is against her warriors, and they will be filled with terror.

The warriors of Babylon have stopped fighting; they sit in their strongholds. Their strength is exhausted; they have become like women. Babylon’s homes have been set ablaze, the bars of her gates are broken.

For a destroyer is coming against her—against Babylon. Her warriors will be captured, and their bows will be broken, for the LORD is a God of retribution; He will repay in full.

I will make her princes and wise men drunk, along with her governors, officials, and warriors. Then they will fall asleep forever and not wake up,” declares the King, whose name is the LORD of Hosts.

I will make your hordes fall by the swords of the mighty, the most ruthless of all nations. They will ravage the pride of Egypt and all her multitudes will be destroyed.

Mighty chiefs will speak from the midst of Sheol about Egypt and her allies: ‘They have come down and lie with the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword.’

They do not lie down with the fallen warriors of old, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war, whose swords were placed under their heads, whose shields rested on their bones, although the terror of the mighty was once in the land of the living.

You will eat the flesh of the mighty and drink the blood of the princes of the earth as though they were rams, lambs, goats, and bulls—all the fattened animals of Bashan.

And at My table you will eat your fill of horses and riders, of mighty men and warriors of every kind,’ declares the Lord GOD.

Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.

You have plowed wickedness and reaped injustice; you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men,

They charge like mighty men; they scale the walls like men of war. Each one marches in formation, not swerving from the course.

Proclaim this among the nations: “Prepare for war; rouse the mighty men; let all the men of war advance and attack!

Beat your plowshares into swords and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, ‘I am strong!’

Come quickly, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves. Bring down Your mighty ones, O LORD.
