Their horses are swifter(A) than leopards(B)
and more fierce[a] than wolves of the night.
Their horsemen charge ahead;
their horsemen come from distant lands.
They fly like eagles, swooping to devour.(C)
All of them come to do violence;
their faces(D) are set in determination.[b]
They gather(E) prisoners like sand.(F)
10 They mock(G) kings,
and rulers are a joke to them.
They laugh(H) at every fortress
and build siege ramps to capture(I) it.
