Joel 2:2-4
Darby Translation

2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and gross darkness, as the dawn spread upon the mountains;—a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any more after them, to the years of generations and generations.

3 A fire devoureth before them, and behind them a flame burneth; the land is as a garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness: yea, and nothing escapeth them.

4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so they run.

Joel 2:2-4
New International Version

2     a day of darkness(A) and gloom,(B)
    a day of clouds(C) and blackness.(D)
Like dawn spreading across the mountains
    a large and mighty army(E) comes,
such as never was in ancient times(F)
    nor ever will be in ages to come.

3 Before them fire(G) devours,
    behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,(H)
    behind them, a desert waste(I)—
    nothing escapes them.
4 They have the appearance of horses;(J)
    they gallop along like cavalry.
