They are all mighty men.
17 And they shall eat up your (C)harvest and your bread,
Which your sons and daughters should eat.

They shall eat up your vines and your fig trees;
They shall destroy your fortified cities,
In which you trust, with the sword.

No one will slumber or sleep;
Nor (E)will the belt on their loins be loosed,
Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;
28 (F)Whose arrows are sharp,
And all their bows bent;
Their horses’ hooves will [a]seem like flint,
And their wheels like a whirlwind.
29 Their roaring will be like a lion,
They will roar like young lions;
Yes, they will roar
And lay hold of the prey;
They will carry it away safely,
And no one will deliver.
30 In that day they will roar against them
Like the roaring of the sea.
And if one (G)looks to the land,
Behold, darkness and [b]sorrow;
And the light is darkened by the clouds.
