8Their horses also are swifter then the leopards, and are more fierce then the euening wolues: & their horsemen shall spread themselues, and their horsemen shall come from farre, they shall flie as the Eagle that hasteth to eate. 9They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup vp as the East winde, and they shall gather the captiuitie as the sand. 10And they shal scoffe at the Kings, and the Princes shall bee a scorne vnto them: they shall deride euery strong holde, for they shall heape dust & take it. 11Then shall his minde change, and he shall passe ouer, and offend, imputing this his power vnto his God. 12¶ Art thou not from euerlasting, O Lord my God, mine Holy one? we shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordained them for iudgement, and O mightie God, thou hast established them for correction.
