Joel 2:5-7
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 Like the rumble of chariots
they hurtle across mountaintops;
Like the crackling of fiery flames
devouring stubble;
Like a massive army
in battle formation.(A)
6 Before them peoples tremble,
every face turns pale.(B)
7 Like warriors they run,
like soldiers they scale walls,
Each advancing in line,
without swerving from the course.
