The sound thereof shall go like the serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.

She makes a sound like the hiss of a snake when they come on with strength; they go against her with axes, like wood-cutters.

Η φωνη αυτης θελει εξελθει ως οφεως· διοτι θελουσι κινηθη εν δυναμει και θελουσιν επελθει επ' αυτην με πελεκεις, ως ξυλοκοποι.

The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
