7 [The Chaldeans] are terrible and dreadful; their justice and dignity proceed [only] from themselves.

8 Their horses also are swifter than leopards and are fiercer than the evening wolves, and their horsemen spread themselves and press on proudly; yes, their horsemen come from afar; they fly like an eagle that hastens to devour.

9 They all come for violence; their faces turn eagerly forward, and they gather prisoners together like sand.
