Joel 2:3-5

Complete Jewish Bible

³ Ahead of them a fire devours,
behind them a flame consumes;
ahead the land is like Gan-‘Eden,
behind them a desert waste.
From them there is no escape.
⁴ They look like horses,
and like cavalry they charge.
⁵ With a rumble like that of chariots
they leap over the mountaintops,
like crackling flames devouring stubble,
like a mighty horde in battle array.
