⁷ When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,
    riders on donkeys, riders on camels,
let him watch closely,
    very closely.”^(A)

⁹ Look, there they come, riders,
    horsemen in pairs!”

and all the images of her gods
    lie shattered on the ground.”^(A)

²⁴ By your servants you have mocked the Lord,
    and you have said, ‘With my many chariots
I have gone up the heights of the mountains,
    to the far recesses of Lebanon;
I felled its tallest cedars,
    its choicest cypresses;
I came to its remotest height,
    its densest forest.^(A)
