4. They have the appearance of horses;they gallop along like cavalry.
5. With a noise like that of chariotsthey leap over the mountaintops,like a crackling fire consuming stubble,like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
6. At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;every face turns pale.
7. They charge like warriors;they scale walls like soldiers.They all march in line,not swerving from their course.
8. They do not jostle each other;each marches straight ahead.They plunge through defenceswithout breaking ranks.
9. They rush upon the city;they run along the wall.They climb into the houses;like thieves they enter through the windows.
10. Before them the earth shakes,the heavens tremble,the sun and moon are darkened,and the stars no longer shine.
