3 Ahead of them a fire has consumed, and behind them a flame burns. Before them the land is like the Garden of Ěḏen, and behind them a desert waste. And from them there is no escape.
4 Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and they run like steeds.
5 As the noise of chariots they leap over mountaintops, as the noise of a flaming fire consuming stubble, as a mighty people set in battle array.
6 Before them peoples are in anguish, all faces become flushed.
7 They run like mighty men, they climb the wall like men of battle, every one goes on his way, and they do not break ranks.
8 And they do not press one another, every one goes in his path. They fall among the weapons, but they do not stop.
9 They rush on the city, they run on the wall. They climb into the houses, they enter at the windows like a thief.
