3A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them.
4The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.
5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.
7They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks.
8Neither doth one thrust another; they march every one in his path; and they burst through the weapons, and break not off [their course].
9They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.
