Joel 2:8-10

Contemporary English Version

⁸They charge straight ahead,
    without pushing each other;
even arrows and spears
    cannot make them retreat.
⁹They swarm over city walls
    and enter our homes;
they crawl in through windows,
    just like thieves.

¹⁰^(A) They make the earth tremble
and the heavens shake;
the sun and moon turn dark,
and stars stop shining.

New International Version

⁸They do not jostle each other;
    each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
    without breaking ranks.
⁹They rush upon the city;
    they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;^(A)
    like thieves they enter through the windows.^(B)
