Joel 2:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Joel 2:3-5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
3 Before it,[a] fire devours,
behind it flame scorches.
The land before it is like the garden of Eden,
and behind it, a desolate wilderness;
from it nothing escapes.(A)
4 Their appearance is that of horses;
like war horses they run.
5 Like the rumble of chariots
they hurtle across mountaintops;
Like the crackling of fiery flames
devouring stubble;
Like a massive army
in battle formation.(B)

New International Version
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.
