"Running with the horses"
Which, in this generation, in this assignment, seems to be the "horsepower" under the hoods of the vehicles that gather every night to torment. Why did God use the analogy of horses? Could it be that He knew it would transcend generations. WOW!!! He's Absolutely Awesome.
Isaiah 52:4 [d] Tyrants on the warpath, whooping it up! and day after day, incessantly, my reputation blackened. (MSG)
Here's the thing, while the intent is obviously to disturb my peace; it is rather the peace of high rise residents, hotel guests, and other homeless people, in the area ("the least of these") whose peace is being disturbed.

"Acting all high and mighty"
Jesus knew we would face these accusations because He endured the same. Therefore, He bequeathed unto His servants:
Isaiah 54:17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord,. And their righteousness is from Me,” Says the Lord.
What some accuse as "high and mighty," Jesus says is the Righteousness which He gives to His heirs. It is so, because He says so. I'm simply trying to endure, survive, and overcome an injustice:
Isaiah 52:4 For thus says the Lord God:
“My people went down at first into Egypt to dwell there; then the Assyrian oppressed them WITHOUT CAUSE.
Isaiah 58:1 "Shout it aloud, do not hold back. Raise your voice like a trumpet. Declare to my people their rebellion and to the descendants of Jacob their sins."
Ezekiel 6:10 And they will know that I am the LORD; I did not threaten to bring this disaster on them without a reason.
