A (A)fire consumes before them,
And behind them a flame devours.
The land is (B)like the Garden of Eden before them,
But a (C)desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.
Their (D)appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like war horses, so they run.
[a]With a (E)noise as of chariots
They leap about on the tops of the mountains,
Like the [b]crackling of a (F)flame of fire consuming the stubble,
Like a mighty people drawn up for battle.
