He will pound his battering ram against your walls;
    with crowbars he will tear down your towers.
10 The dust from all his horses will cover you
    when he enters your gates
    as one who enters a breached city.
        Your walls will quake
        at the thundering of the charioteers and chariot wheels.
11 His horses’ hooves will trample all your courtyards;
    he will cut down your people with the sword,
        and the monuments to your strength he will bring down[a] to the ground.

And he shall set engines of war against thy walls, and with his axes he shall break down thy towers.

10 By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee: thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter into thy gates, as men enter into a city wherein is made a breach.

11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: he shall slay thy people by the sword, and thy strong garrisons shall go down to the ground.
