5With a sound like that of chariots
they bound over the mountaintops,
like the crackling of fire consuming stubble,
like a mighty army deployed for battle.
6Nations writhe in horror before them;
every face turns pale.
7They charge like mighty men;
they scale the walls like men of war.
Each one marches in formation,
not swerving from the course.
8They do not jostle one another;
each proceeds in his path.
They burst through the defenses,
never breaking ranks.
— Joel 2:5-8
