3 Fire burns in front of them,and flames follow after them.Ahead of them the land liesas beautiful as the Garden of Eden.Behind them is nothing but desolation;not one thing escapes.
4 They look like horses;they charge forward like warhorses.
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.
