Joel 2:4-9

Tree of Life Version

⁴ Their appearance is like the appearance of horses—
they gallop like war horses.^[a]
5 Like the clatter of chariots,^[b]
they leap on the tops of mountains,
like crackling flame of fire devouring stubble,
like a mighty horde in battle array.
⁶ Before them peoples are in anguish.
All faces become ashen gray.
⁷ They run like mighty men.
They climb a wall like men of war.
They each march in line,
    never deviating from their ways.
⁸ One does not crowd another.
Each one marches on his own highway.
They plunge through the weapons,
    never breaking off.
⁹ They rush on the city,
they run on the wall,
they climb up into the houses,
    coming through the windows like a thief.
