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

10 "They make fun of kings And rulers are a laughing matter to them. They ridicule every stronghold And heap up rubble [for earth mounds] and capture it.

11 "Then they will sweep by like the wind and pass on. But they will be held guilty, They [and all men] whose own power and strength is their god."
