They shall come all for violence: their faces shall sup up as the east wind, and they shall gather the captivity as the sand.

Omnes ad prædam venient, facies eorum ventus urens ; et congregabit quasi arenam captivitatem.

συντέλεια εἰς ἀσεβεῖς ἥξει, ἀνθεστηκότας προσώποις αὐτῶν ἐξ ἐναντίας, καὶ συνάξει ὡς ἄμμον αἰχμαλωσίαν.

They come all of them for violence; the set of their faces is forwards; and they gather captives as the sand.
