Joel 2:3-5
New Living Translation
3 Fire burns in front of them,
and flames follow after them.
Ahead of them the land lies
as beautiful as the Garden of Eden.
Behind them is nothing but desolation;
not one thing escapes.
4 They look like horses;
they charge forward like warhorses.[a]
5 Look at them as they leap along the mountaintops.
Listen to the noise they make—like the rumbling of chariots,
like the roar of fire sweeping across a field of stubble,
or like a mighty army moving into 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.
