27 No one is weary, no one stumbles,[a]
    and no one slumbers or sleeps.
No belt around their waists will come undone,
    nor will their sandal straps be broken.
28 Their arrows are sharp,
    all their bows ready for action.[b]
Their horses’ hooves seem like flint,
    and their chariot wheels spin[c] like a whirlwind.
29 With a roar like a lion, they snarl,
    and like young lions, they growl;[d]
they seize their prey
    and then carry it off,
        with no one to rescue.
