⁸ They do not jostle each other;
    each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
    without breaking ranks.
⁹ They rush upon the city;
    they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;^(A)
    like thieves they enter through the windows.^(B)

¹⁰ Before them the earth shakes,^(C)
    the heavens tremble,^(D)
the sun and moon are darkened,^(E)
    and the stars no longer shine.^(F)
