The army is like a fire, consuming everything in its path—
    a scorching flame burning everything behind them.
The land before them is sweet like the garden of Eden.
    The land following—only a lonely desert; nothing is spared in judgment.

    like a crackling fire engulfing stubble,
Like a mighty army maneuvering for battle.

    they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire(F) consuming stubble,
    like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
