3 The army will destroy the land like a burning fire. In front of them the land will be like the Garden of Eden. Behind them the land will be like an empty desert. Nothing will escape them.
4 They look like horses. They run like war horses.
5 Listen to them. It is like the noise of chariots riding over the mountains. It is like the noise of flames burning the chaff. They are a powerful people, who are ready for war.
6 Before this army, people shake with fear. Their faces become pale from fear.
7 The soldiers run fast. They climb over the walls. Each soldier marches straight ahead. They don’t move from their path.
8 They don’t trip each other. Each soldier walks in his own path. If one of the soldiers is hit and falls down, the others keep right on marching.
9 They run to the city. They quickly climb over the wall. They climb into the houses. They climb through the windows like thieves.
