    and whistle for their armies: unleash the dogs of war.
At breakneck speed they come,
    a war machine like no other

    their chariots’ wheels spin like whirlwinds.

    not one slumbers or sleeps;
not a belt(E) is loosened at the waist,(F)
    not a sandal strap is broken.(G)

    all their bows(I) are strung;
their horses’ hooves(J) seem like flint,
    their chariot wheels like a whirlwind.(K)
