Joel 2:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 A fire destroys[a] in front of them,(A)
and behind them a flame devours.
The land in front of them
is like the Garden of Eden,(B)
but behind them,
it is like a desert wasteland;(C)
there is no escape from them.
4 Their appearance is like that of horses,(D)
and they gallop like war horses.
5 They bound on the tops of the mountains.
Their sound is like the sound of chariots,(E)
like the sound of fiery flames consuming stubble,(F)
like a mighty army deployed for war.

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.
