Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    more fierce than the evening wolves;
    their horsemen press proudly on.
Yea, their horsemen come from afar;
    they fly like an eagle swift to devour.
They all come for violence;
    terror[a] of them goes before them.
    They gather captives like sand.
10 At kings they scoff,
    and of rulers they make sport.
They laugh at every fortress,
    for they heap up earth and take it.
