But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the commandment of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians, neither went they with him to the battle; for they were not afraid of him: yea, he was before them as one man, and they sent away his ambassadors from them without effect, and with disgrace.
But everyone in these lands dismissed Nebuchadnezzar's command and refused to join him for battle, for they were not afraid of him; they sent his messengers away empty-handed and humiliated.
