Whose¹ arrowsª [are] sharp,ª° and all¹ their bowsª bent,ª° their horses'ª hoofsª shall be countedª° like flint,²¹ and their wheelsª like a whirlwind:ª" {Isa 5:26-28} + "But ye said,ª° No;¹ for¹ we will fleeª° upon¹ horses;ª therefore¹¹ shall ye flee:ª° and, We will rideª° upon¹ the swift;ª therefore¹¹ shall they that pursueª° you be swift.ª° ... Oneª thousandª [shall flee] atª¹ the rebukeª of one;ª atª¹ the rebukeª of fiveª shall ye flee:ª° till¹¹ ye be leftª° as a beaconª upon¹ the topª of a mountain,ª and as an ensignª on¹ an hill.ª" {Isa 30:16-17} + "Behold,¹ he shall come upª° as clouds,ª and his chariotsª [shall be] as a whirlwind:ª his horsesª are swifterª° than eagles.ª¹ Woeª unto us! for¹ we are spoiled.ª°" {Jer 4:13} + "[Set] the trumpetª to¹ thy mouth.ª [He shall come] as an eagleª against¹ the houseª of the LORD,ª because¹ they have transgressedª° my covenant,ª and trespassedª° against¹ my law.ª" {Hsa 8:1} + "Their horsesª also are swifterª° than the leopards,ª¹ and are more fierceª° than the eveningª wolves:ª¹ and their horsemenª shall spreadª° themselves, and their horsemenª shall comeª° from far;ª¹ they shall flyª° as the eagleª [that] hastethª° to eat.ª°" {Hab 1:8} + "Forª asª the¹ lightningª comethª° out ofª the east,ª andª shinethª° even untoª the west;ª soª shall²° alsoª the¹ comingª of the¹ Sonª of manª be.ª° ...
