Joel 2:8-11

The Voice

⁸ Organized—no soldier crowds another.
    Independent—each man marches straight ahead.
Together—they are unstoppable as they break through the defenses
    and do not break off the attack.
⁹ They charge the city, scurry along its wall.
    They swarm through windows into houses, like common thieves.
¹⁰ Before them the earth trembles and the heavens shake.
The sun and the moon become a void of darkness.
    The stars lose their radiance too.
¹¹ The Eternal One shouts commands from the front line of His army;
    His forces are vast—uncountable mighty soldiers obey His command.
The day of the Eternal One is great, fearsome indeed.
    Who can survive?
