Joel 2:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ A ^(A)fire consumes before them
And behind them a flame burns.
The land is ^(B)like the garden of Eden before them
But a ^(C)desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.
⁴ Their ^(D)appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like war horses, so they run.
^5 [a]With a ^(E)noise as of chariots
They leap on the tops of the mountains,
Like the ^[b]crackling of a ^(F)flame of fire consuming the stubble,
Like a mighty people arranged for battle.
