American Standard Version
"At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale. "
— Joel 2:6, American Standard Version
“Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.”
“At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.”
“People writhe in fear when they see them. All of their faces turn pale with fright.”
“At their presence the people shall be in grievous pains: all faces shall be made like a kettle.”
“At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.”
“Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.”
A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame burneth: the land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and none hath escaped them.
The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so do they run.
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.
They run like mighty men; they climb the wall like men of war; and they march every one on his ways, and they break not their ranks.
Neither doth one thrust another; they march every one in his path; and they burst through the weapons, and break not off their course.
They leap upon the city; they run upon the wall; they climb up into the houses; they enter in at the windows like a thief.
