Joel 2:8-10

New American Standard Bible

⁸They do not crowd each other,
Every warrior of them marches in his path;
When they ^[a]burst through the ^[b]defenses,
They do not break ranks.
⁹They storm the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the ^(A)houses,
They ^(B)enter through the windows like a thief.
¹⁰Before them the earth ^(C)quakes,
The heavens tremble,
The ^(D)sun and the moon become dark,
And the stars lose their brightness.

⁸They do not jostle each other;
    each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
    without breaking ranks.
⁹They rush upon the city;
    they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;^(A)
    like thieves they enter through the windows.^(B)
