Joel 2:3-5

New International Version

³ Before them fire^(A) devours,
    behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,^(B)
    behind them, a desert waste^(C)—
    nothing escapes them.
⁴ They have the appearance of horses;^(D)
    they gallop along like cavalry.
⁵ With a noise like that of chariots^(E)
    they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire^(F) consuming stubble,
    like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
