Joel 2:7-11
7They run like warriors, They climb the wall like soldiers; And each of them 1marches 2in line, Nor do they lose their way.8They do not crowd each other, Every warrior of them marches in his path; When they 3burst through the 4defenses, They do not break ranks.9They storm 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 become dark, And the stars lose their brightness.11The Lord 9utters His voice before 10His army; His camp is indeed very great, For 11mighty is one who carries out His word. The 12day of the Lord is indeed great and very awesome, And 13who can endure it?
