Joel 2:4-8

New American Standard Bible

⁴ Their ^(A)appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like war horses, so they run.
^5 [a]With a ^(B)noise as of chariots
They leap about on the tops of the mountains,
Like the ^[b]crackling of a ^(C)flame of fire consuming the stubble,
Like a mighty people drawn up for battle.
⁶ Before them the people are in ^(D)anguish;
All ^(E)faces ^[c]turn pale.
⁷ They run like warriors,
They climb the wall like soldiers;
And each of them ^(F)marches ^[d]in line,
Nor do they lose their way.
⁸ They do not crowd each other,
Every warrior of them marches in his path;
When they ^[e]burst through the ^[f]defenses,
They do not break ranks.
