Joel 2:5-7
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

5 As with the rumbling of chariots,
    they leap on the tops of the mountains,
like the crackling of a flame of fire
    devouring the stubble,
like a powerful army
    drawn up for battle.

6 Before them peoples are in anguish,
    all faces grow pale.
7 Like warriors they charge,
    like soldiers they scale the wall.
They march each on his way,
    they do not swerve[a] from their paths.
