Let all these Riders beware, lest he that rides on the wings of vengeance, with a sword drawn in his hand, that will eat flesh, and drink blood; that will make such haste in the pursuit of his enemies, that he will not bait or refresh himself by the way; lest this God before they have repented overtake them. gGird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty; and in thy majesty ride prosperously, &c. and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things. Then shall the hLord remember the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; and reward them, as they served us. Lo now the end of these Riders: iThere are the workers of iniquity fallen: they are cast down, and shall not be able to rise. Zach. 10. The riders on horses shall be confounded.
