Thematic Bible: (swiftness of,) of the swiftness of hostile armies


Thematic Bible



For thus says the Lord:
“Behold, one will fly swiftly like an eagle
And spread out his wings against Moab.

“Behold, he goes up like clouds,
And his chariots like the whirlwind;
His horses are swifter than eagles.
Woe to us, for we are ruined!”

Our pursuers were swifter
Than the eagles of the sky;
They chased us on the mountains,
They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.

The Lord will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as the eagle swoops down, a nation whose language you shall not understand,
