5. Look at them as they leap along the mountaintops.Listen to the noise they make—like the rumbling of chariots,like the roar of fire sweeping across a field of stubble,or like a mighty army moving into battle.
6. Fear grips all the people;every face grows pale with terror.
7. The attackers march like warriorsand scale city walls like soldiers.Straight forward they march,never breaking rank.
8. They never jostle each other;each moves in exactly the right position.They break through defenseswithout missing a step.
9. They swarm over the cityand run along its walls.They enter all the houses,climbing like thieves through the windows.
10. The earth quakes as they advance,and the heavens tremble.The sun and moon grow dark,and the stars no longer shine.
