Over mountaintops they leap,
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
Like a strong people set in battle array.
They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation,
And they do not break aranks.
Every one marches in his own1 column.
Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not1 cut down.
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They aenter at the windows blike a thief.
The heavens tremble;
bThe sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.
