Joel 2:2-10
2a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloomH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and gross 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, to the yearsH8141 of generationsH1755 and generationsH1755.
3A fireH784 devoureth before them, and behind them a flameH3852 burneth; the landH776 is as a gardenH1588 of EdenH5731 before them, and behind them a desolate wildernessH4057: yea, and nothing escapeth them.
4The appearanceH4758 of them is as the appearanceH4758 of horsesH5483; and as horsemenH6571, so they runH7323.
5Like the noise of chariotsH4818, on the topsH7218 of the mountainsH2022, they leapH7540; like the noise of a flameH3851 of fireH784 that devoureth the stubbleH7179, as a strong peopleH5971 set in battleH4421 array.
6Before them the peoplesH5971 are in anguishH2342: all facesH6440 turn pale.
7They runH7323 like mightyH1368 menH376; they climb the wallH2346 like menH376 of warH4421; and they march every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and break not their ranks.
8Neither doth oneH376 press upon another; they march every oneH376 in his path; and fallH5307 amid weaponsH7973, but are not wounded.
9They spread themselves over the cityH5892; they runH7323 upon the wallH2346; they climb up into the housesH1004; they enter in by 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.
