Joel 2:2-4
1599 Geneva Bible

2 A [a]day of darkness, and of blackness, a day of clouds and obscurity, as the morning spread upon the mountains, so is there a [b]great people, and a mighty: there was none like it from the beginning, neither shall be anymore after it, unto the years of many generations.

3 A fire devoureth before him, and behind him a flame burneth up: the land is as the garden of [c]Eden before him, and behind him a desolate wilderness, so that nothing shall escape him.

4 The beholding of him is like the sight of horses, and like the horsemen, so shall 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.
