7. Like mighty men they run,like men of war they scale a wall;each marches on his way,they do not swerve from their paths.
8. They do not jostle one another;each marches in his track.Through the weapons they plunge;they do not break rank.
9. They rush on the city,they run on the wall;they climb up into the houses,they enter through the windows like thieves.
10. Before them the earth quakes,the heavens shake;the sun and moon darken,and the stars withdraw their radiance.
11. The Lord has sounded His voicebefore His army,for His camp is exceedingly great;mighty is the one who accomplishes His word.For great is the day of the Lord,and very awe-inspiring.Who can endure it?
12. Yet even now, declares the Lord,return to Me with all your heart,and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning.
