Joel 2:2-4

New American Standard Bible 1995

² A day of ^(A)darkness and gloom,
A day of clouds and thick darkness.
As the dawn is spread over the mountains,
So there is a ^(B)great and mighty people;
There has ^(C)never been anything like it,
Nor will there be again after it
To the years of many generations.
³ A ^(D)fire consumes before them
And behind them a flame burns.
The land is ^(E)like the garden of Eden before them
But a ^(F)desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.
⁴ Their ^(G)appearance is like the appearance of horses;
And like war horses, so they run.
