5:28 Their arrows are sharpened,
and all their bows are prepared. 1
The hooves of their horses are hard as flint, 2
and their chariot wheels are like a windstorm. 3
5:29 Their roar is like a lion’s;
they roar like young lions.
They growl and seize their prey;
they drag it away and no one can come to the rescue.
1 tn Heb “bent” (so KJV, NAB, NASB, NRSV); NIV “are strung.”
2 tn Heb “regarded like flint.”
3 sn They are like a windstorm in their swift movement and in the way they kick up dust.
