^8 (A)Their horses are swifter than leopards,
    more fierce than ^(B)the evening wolves;
    their horsemen press proudly on.
Their horsemen come from afar;
    ^(C)they fly like an eagle swift to devour.

    all their faces forward.
    They gather captives ^(E)like sand.

    and at rulers they laugh.

    for ^(G)they pile up earth and take it.
