Joel 2:5-7

5 ^aAs with the rumbling of chariots,
they leap on the tops of the mountains,
like the crackling of ^ba flame of fire
devouring the stubble,
^clike a powerful army
drawn up for battle.
6 Before them peoples are in anguish;
^dall faces grow pale.
7 Like warriors they charge;
like soldiers they scale the wall.
They march each on his way;
they do not swerve from their paths.
