Thou must believe this, Eli, my Lord.

I have seen it and been in its midst.

So surely as I stand here, I know that it is too mighty for Thy people.

Pharaoh's power will crush them as the hoofs of the cattle trample the grain on the threshing-floor.

And my people, who are also Thine, are encamped in a spot where Pharaoh's warriors can cut them down from all directions, so that there is no way for them to fly, not one.
