Joel 2:4-10
New International Version
4 They have the appearance of horses;(A)
they gallop along like cavalry.
5 With a noise like that of chariots(B)
they leap over the mountaintops,
like a crackling fire(C) consuming stubble,
like a mighty army drawn up for battle.
6 At the sight of them, nations are in anguish;(D)
every face turns pale.(E)
7 They charge like warriors;(F)
they scale walls like soldiers.
They all march in line,(G)
not swerving(H) from their course.
8 They do not jostle each other;
each marches straight ahead.
They plunge through defenses
without breaking ranks.
9 They rush upon the city;
they run along the wall.
They climb into the houses;(I)
like thieves they enter through the windows.(J)
Joel 2:4-10
King James Version
4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5 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.
6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.
7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:

Joel 2:4-10
New King James Version
4 (A)Their appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like [a]swift steeds, so they run.
5 (B)With a noise like chariots
Over mountaintops they leap,
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
Like a strong people set in battle array.
6 Before them the people writhe in pain;
(C)All faces [b]are drained of color.
7 They run like mighty men,
They climb the wall like men of war;
Every one marches in formation,
And they do not break (D)ranks.
8 They do not push one another;
Every one marches in his own [c]column.
Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not [d]cut down.
9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They (E)enter at the windows (F)like a thief.
10 (G)The earth quakes before them,
The heavens tremble;
(H)The sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.
