7 "The Chaldeans are dreaded and feared; Their justice and authority originate with themselves and are defined only by their decree.

8 "Their horses are swifter than leopards And keener than [hungry] wolves in the evening, Their horsemen come galloping, Their horsemen come from far away; They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.

9 "They all come for violence; Their horde of faces moves [eagerly] forward, They gather prisoners like sand.
