are stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.

they are cruel and have no mercy.
The sound of them is like the roaring of the sea;
they ride on horses,
arrayed as a man for battle
against you, O daughter of Babylon!

and his hands fell helpless;
anguish seized him,
pain as of a woman in labor.
