Whose arrows are sharp, and their bows bent; their horses' hoofs are counted as solid rock; their chariot wheels are as a storm.

And he shall roar on account of them in that day, as the sound of the swelling sea; and they shall look to the land, and behold, [there shall be] thick darkness in their perplexity.

For he shall arrive at the city of Aiath, and shall pass on to Migron, and shall lay up his stores in Michmash.

Exhort [them] today to remain in the way; exhort, [beckoning] the mountain with your hand, the daughter of Zion, even you hills that are in Jerusalem.

Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, who trust in horses and chariots, for they are many; and in horses, [which are] a great multitude; and have not trusted in the Holy One of Israel, and have not sought the Lord.

The Lord shall give you up for slaughter before your enemies; you shall go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and you shall be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth.

And the city was broken up, and all the men of war went out by night by the way of the gate, between the wall and the outworks, which were by the king's garden. And the Chaldeans were by the city round about; and they went by the way [leading] to the wilderness.

Behold, he shall come up as a cloud, and his chariots as a tempest. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us, for we are in misery!

Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky, they flew on the mountains, in the wilderness they laid wait for us.

And his horses shall bound more swiftly than leopards, and they are fiercer than the wolves of Arabia: and his horsemen shall ride forth, and shall rush from far; and they shall fly as an eagle [that] hastens to eat.
