In context

3Before them a fire devours, and behind them a flame scorches. The land before them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland— surely nothing will escape them.

4Their appearance is like that of horses, and they gallop like swift steeds.

5With a sound like that of chariots they bound over the mountaintops, like the crackling of fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for battle.

6Nations writhe in horror before them; every face turns pale.

7They charge like mighty men; they scale the walls like men of war. Each one marches in formation, not swerving from the course.
