Joel 2:5-7

The Voice

⁵ They sound like clattering chariots racing over mountaintops,
    like a crackling fire engulfing stubble,
Like a mighty army maneuvering for battle.
⁶ Seeing the result of God’s judgment looming, the nations writhe in anguish;
    each face grows as pale as a ghost.
⁷ They run like champions into the fight.
    Like skilled soldiers, they scale city walls;
Every man marches in formation, never leaving his rank.
