Joel 2:5

---

← Joel 2:4	Joel 2:5 (KJV)	Joel 2:6 →
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.	Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
