⁵ They leap like the rumbling of chariots echoing from mountain tops,
    like the roar of wild fire that devours the chaff,
        as an army^[a] firmly established in battle array.
⁶ The people are terrified in their presence;
    every face grows pale.^[b]
7 They run like elite soldiers,
    climbing ramparts like men trained for war.
Each man advances in proper order,
    never breaking rank.
