Joel 2:2-10
2a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominess, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thickH6205 darknessH2822, as the dawnH7837 spreadH6566 upon the mountainsH2022; a greatH7227 peopleH5971 and a strong; there hath not beenH1961 everH5769 the likeH3644, neither shall beH1961 any moreH4480 after them, even to the yearsH8141 of manyH7227 generationsH1755. 3A fireH784 devoureth before them; and behind them a flameH3852 burneth: the landH776 is as the gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 before them, and behind them a desolate wildernessH4057; yea, and none hath escapedH6413 them.
4The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, soH3651 do they runH7323. 5Like the noise of chariotsH4818 on the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022 do they leapH7540, like the noise of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devoureth the stubbleH7179, as a strong peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 array. 6At their presenceH6440 the peoplesH5971 are in anguishH2342; all facesH6440 are waxed pale. 7They runH7323 like mightyH1368 menH376; they climb the wallH2346 like menH376 of warH4421; and they march every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they break not their ranks. 8Neither doth oneH376 thrust another; they march every oneH376 in his path; and they burst through the weaponsH7973, and break not off their course. 9They leap upon the cityH5892; they runH7323 upon the wallH2346; they climb up into the housesH1004; they enter in at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590. 10The earthH776 quaketh before them; the heavensH8064 trembleH7264; the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 are darkened, and the starsH3556 withdrawH622 their shining.
