weach marches in his path;
they burst through the weapons
and are not halted.

they run upon the walls,
ythey climb up into the houses,
ythey enter through the windows zlike a thief.
10 aThe earth quakes before them;
the heavens tremble.
bThe sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.

They shall walk every one in his path:
And when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

The sun and the moon shall be dark,
And the stars shall withdraw their shining:
