| Deuteronomy 28:49 | The Lord will bring upon thee a nation from afar, and from the uttermost ends of the earth, like an eagle that flieth swiftly: whose tongue thou canst not understand: | Swiftly. The Chaldeans are designated in the same manner, Jeremias 5:5., and Ezechiel 17:3, 12. The Romans also carried an eagle, as their chief standard, and the rapidity of their conquests astonished all the world. |
