They are (C)cruel and have no mercy.
Their (D)voice roars like the sea;
And they ride on (E)horses,
(F)Drawn up like a man for the battle
Against you, daughter of Babylon.
43 The (G)king of Babylon has heard the report about them,
And his hands hang limp;
(H)Distress has gripped him,
Agony like a woman in childbirth.
