 9and he shall set his engines of attack against thy walls, and with his spikes he shall break down thy towers.
 10By reason of the abundance of his horses their dust shall cover thee; thy walls shall shake at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, and of the chariots, when he shall enter through thy gates, as a city is entered into, wherein is made a breach.
 11With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets; he shall slay thy people by the sword, and the pillars of thy strength shall go down to the ground.

 18Now shall the isles tremble in the day of thy fall; and the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy departure.
