they are a law to themselves
and promote their own honor.

8Their horses are swifter than leopards,
fiercer than wolves at dusk.

their horsemen come from afar.
They fly like a vulture swooping to devour;

9they all come bent on violence.
Their hordesThe meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. advance like a desert wind
and gather prisoners like sand.
