| 8 | Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded. | They do not jostle one another; each proceeds in his path. They burst through the defenses, never breaking ranks. | Neither doth one thrust another; they march every one in his path; and they burst through the weapons, and break not off their course. |
