Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the wolves in the (A)evening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from far: they shall fly as the eagle hasting to meat.

They come all to spoil: for their faces shall be an [a]East wind, and they shall gather the captivity [b]as the sand.

10 And they shall mock the Kings, and the princes shall be a scorn unto them: they shall deride every stronghold: for they shall gather [c]dust, and take it.
