So they are rushing in their footsteps.
And they blindly followed in their footsteps.
yet they run in their footsteps
And most of the ancients surely went astray before them
So they are on their tracks/marks/signs rushing disturbedly
Knowing that their religion was keeping them in the wrong path [, they were not brave enough to break up with their wrong beliefs]
So they hastily follow their footsteps
And they hurried on in their footsteps
So they are made to rush on in their footsteps
And they are rushing on in their footsteps (as if driven by some inward urge)
So they (too) made haste to follow in their footsteps
