2a day of darkness and gloom,
a day of clouds and blackness.
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
a large and mighty army comes,
such as never was of old
nor ever will be in ages to come.

3Before them fire devours,
behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,
behind them, a desert waste—
nothing escapes them.

4They have the appearance of horses;
they gallop along like cavalry.

5With a noise like that of chariots
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.

6At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;
every face turns pale.

7They charge like warriors;
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,
not swerving from their course.

8They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.

9They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;
like thieves they enter through the windows.
