4	כְּמַרְאֵ֥ה סוּסִ֖ים מַרְאֵ֑הוּ וּכְפָרָשִׁ֖ים כֵּ֥ן יְרוּצֽוּן׃	Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses they run.	They have the appearance of horses; they gallop along like cavalry.
5	כְּק֣וֹל מַרְכָּב֗וֹת עַל־ רָאשֵׁ֤י הֶֽהָרִים֙ יְרַקֵּד֔וּן כְּקוֹל֙ לַ֣הַב אֵ֔שׁ אֹכְלָ֖ה קָ֑שׁ כְּעַ֣ם עָצ֔וּם עֱר֖וּךְ מִלְחָמָֽה׃	As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle.	With a noise like that of chariots they leap over the mountaintops, like a crackling fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
6	מִפָּנָ֖יו יָחִ֣ילוּ עַמִּ֑ים כָּל־ פָּנִ֖ים קִבְּצ֥וּ פָארֽוּר׃	Before them peoples are in anguish; all faces grow pale.	At the sight of them, nations are in anguish; every face turns pale.
7	כְּגִבּוֹרִ֣ים יְרֻצ֔וּן כְּאַנְשֵׁ֥י מִלְחָמָ֖ה יַעֲל֣וּ חוֹמָ֑ה וְאִ֤ישׁ בִּדְרָכָיו֙ יֵֽלֵכ֔וּן וְלֹ֥א יְעַבְּט֖וּן אֹרְחוֹתָֽם׃	Like warriors they charge; like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way; they do not swerve from their paths.	They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course.
