⁸ They do not jostle one another;
    each marches straight ahead.
They surge through defenses
    without breaking ranks.
⁹ They burst ahead to assault the city,
    leaping onto the walls.
They climb into the houses,
    entering like thieves through the windows.
¹⁰ As they move forward,
    the earth quakes before them
    and the heavens tremble.
The sun and the moon are darkened,
    and the stars withhold their light.
