Joel 2:7-11

7They shall runH7323 like mighty menH1368; they shall climbH5927 the wallH2346 like menH582 of warH4421; and they shall marchH3212 every oneH376 on his waysH1870, and they shall not breakH5670 their ranksH734:

8Neither shall oneH376 thrustH1766 anotherH251; they shall walkH3212 every oneH1397 in his pathH4546: and when they fallH5307 upon the swordH7973, they shall not be woundedH1214.1

9They shall run to and froH8264 in the cityH5892; they shall runH7323 upon the wallH2346, they shall climb upH5927 upon the housesH1004; they shall enter inH935 at the windowsH2474 like a thiefH1590.

10The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:

11And YhwhH3068 shall utterH5414 his voiceH6963 beforeH6440 his armyH2428: for his campH4264 is veryH3966 greatH7227: for he is strongH6099 that executethH6213 his wordH1697: for the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is greatH1419 and veryH3966 terribleH3372; and who can abideH3557 it?
