Before them peoples are in anguish,
    all faces grow pale.[a]
Like warriors they charge,
    like soldiers they scale the wall.
Each keeps to its own course,
    they do not swerve from[b] their paths.
They do not jostle one another,
    each keeps to its own track;
they burst through the weapons
    and are not halted.
