Joel 2:3-5
Good News Translation
Joel 2:3-5
Good News Translation
3 Like fire they eat up the plants.
In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden,
but behind them it is a barren desert.
Nothing escapes them.
4 (A)They look like horses;
they run like war-horses.
5 As they leap on the tops of the mountains,
they rattle like chariots;
they crackle like dry grass on fire.
They are lined up like a great army ready for battle.

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.
