A Terrifying Vision of Warfare

²⁸ What a terrifying sight, appearing from the east! ²⁹ The nations of the dragons of Arabia shall come out with many chariots, and from the day that they set out their hissing shall spread over the earth, so that all who hear them will fear and tremble.^{(A) 30} Also the Carmonians, raging in wrath, shall go forth like wild boars^[a] from the forest, and with great power they shall come and engage them in battle, and with their tusks they shall devastate a portion of the land of the Assyrians with their teeth.^(B)
