Their horsemen charge ahead; their horsemen come from afar. They fly like an eagle swooping to devour. 9 They all come for violence; their faces are set to advance. They gather captives like sand. 10 They mock kings, and rulers are a joke to them. They laugh at every fortress and build up siege ramps to capture it.
