      “It is an enduring nation.

      It is an ancient nation,

      A nation whose language you do not know,

      And whose speech you cannot understand.+

      16 Their quiver is like an open grave;

      All of them are warriors.

      17 They will devour your harvest and your bread.+

      They will devour your sons and your daughters.

      They will devour your flocks and your herds.

      They will devour your vines and your fig trees.

      They will destroy with the sword your fortified cities in which you trust.”

      23 They will grab hold of the bow and the javelin.

      They are cruel and will have no mercy.

      Their voice will roar like the sea,

      And they ride on horses.+

      They draw up in battle order like a man of war against you, O daughter of Zion.”

All of them are desirable young men, governors and deputy rulers, warriors and handpicked,* all mounted on horses.
