Joel 2:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ They climb over walls
    like warriors;
they march in columns
    and never turn aside.^[a]
8 They charge straight ahead,
    without pushing each other;
even arrows and spears
    cannot make them retreat.
⁹ They swarm over city walls
    and enter our homes;
they crawl in through windows,
    just like thieves.
