Joel 2:3-7 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

3. The army will destroy the land like a burning fire. In front of them the land will be like the Garden of Eden. Behind them the land will be like an empty desert. Nothing will escape them.

4. They look like horses. They run like war horses.

5. Listen to them. It is like the noise of chariots riding over the mountains. It is like the noise of flames burning the chaff. They are a powerful people, who are ready for war.

6. Before this army, people shake with fear. Their faces become pale from fear.

7. The soldiers run fast. They climb over the walls. Each soldier marches straight ahead. They don’t move from their path.
