Joel 2:3-5

GOD’S WORD Translation

³ In front of this army a fire burns.
Behind it flames are blazing.
In front of it the land is like the garden of Eden.
Behind it the land is like a barren desert.
Nothing escapes it!

⁴ The soldiers look like horses.
They run like war horses.
⁵ As they leap on mountaintops,
they sound like rattling chariots,
like crackling fire burning up straw,
and like a mighty army prepared for battle.
