⁷ The locusts looked like horses ·prepared [equipped; trained] for battle [Joel 2:4]. On their heads they wore what looked like crowns of gold [^Cindicating their victory; 2:10], and their faces looked like human faces. ⁸ Their hair was like women’s hair, and their teeth were like lions’ teeth [Joel 1:6]. ⁹ Their chests looked like iron breastplates, and the sound of their wings was like the noise of many horses and chariots ·hurrying [charging; running] into battle [Joel 2:5].
