Joel 2:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ The army destroys the land
    like a burning fire.
The land in front of them is like the garden of Eden.
    The land behind them is like an empty desert.
    Nothing will escape them.
⁴ They look like horses.
    They run like war horses.
⁵ Listen to them!
It is like the noise of chariots
    rumbling over the mountains.
It is like the noise of crackling flames
    burning dry stalks.
They are like a powerful army lined up for battle.
