Their quiver is like an open tomb; all of them are mighty warriors.
For there is no truth in their mouths; their hearts are destruction; their throats are open graves; they flatter with their tongues.
Their bows will slaughter the young men; they will have no mercy on the fruit of the womb; their eyes will not pity children.
their arrows are sharp; all their bows strung; their horses’ hoofs seem like flint, and their wheels like the whirlwind.
Thus says the Lord: See, a people is coming from the land of the north; a great nation is stirring from the farthest parts of the earth.
They grasp the bow and the javelin; they are cruel and have no mercy; their sound is like the roaring sea; they ride on horses, equipped like a warrior for battle, against you, O daughter Zion!
He shot into my vitals the arrows of his quiver;
“Their throats are opened graves; they use their tongues to deceive.” “The venom of vipers is under their lips.”
