Joel 2:7-11
7They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like soldiers; And they each 1march 2in line, Nor do they deviate from their paths.8They do not crowd each other, They march everyone in his path; When they 3burst through the 4defenses, They do not break ranks.9They rush on the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the 5houses, They 6enter through the windows like a thief.10Before them the earth 7quakes, The heavens tremble, The 8sun and the moon grow dark And the stars lose their brightness.11The Lord 9utters His voice before 10His army; Surely His camp is very great, For 11strong is he who carries out His word. The 12day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, And 13who can endure it?
