Joel 2:4

← Joel 2:3	Joel 2:4 (KJV)	Joel 2:5 →
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.	The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.	Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
