Ecclesiastes 1:8

Everything requires hard work and effort; it's more than anyone can fully describe. Our eyes are never satisfied with what they see, and our ears are never filled with what they hear.

The enemy said, 'I will chase after them, I will catch up to them, I will divide up everything they own among my troops; I will take whatever I want from them; I will pull out my sword and completely destroy them with my own hands.'

The Lord who commands everything will have their back. They'll completely overwhelm their enemies — even with just simple sling stones. They'll celebrate so loud and wild it's like they're drunk on victory, totally satisfied like the sacred bowls at the altar overflowing with offerings.
