4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses and as horsemen, so do they run. 5 They leap like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array. 6 At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces have grown pale.
7 They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like men of war and they march each one on his ways. And they do not break their ranks. 8 Neither does one push another. They march each one in his path and they burst through the weapons and do not break off. 9 They leap upon the city. They run upon the wall. They climb up into the houses.
