²¹ Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.

¹⁸ Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

¹ Again I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, four chariots came out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.

² In the first chariot were red horses; in the second chariot black horses;

³ in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot dappled horses, all of them powerful.

⁴ Then I asked the angel who talked with me, "What are these, my lord?"

⁵ The angel answered me, "These are the four winds of the sky, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.

⁶ The one with the black horses goes out toward the north country; and the white went out after them; and the dappled went forth toward the south country."

⁷ The strong went out, and sought to go that they might walk back and forth through the earth: and he said, "go around and through the earth!" So they walked back and forth through the earth.
