NASB
"Before them the people are in anguish; All faces turn pale."
— Joel 2:6, NASB
“Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.”
“At their presence the peoples are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale. ”
“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 consumes before them And behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them, And nothing at all escapes them.
Their appearance is like the appearance of horses; And like war horses, so they run.
With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains, Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, Like a mighty people arranged for battle.
Before them the people are in anguish; All faces turn pale.
They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like soldiers; And they each march in line, Nor do they deviate from their paths.
They do not crowd each other, They march everyone in his path; When they burst through the defenses, They do not break ranks.
They rush on the city, They run on the wall; They climb into the houses, They enter through the windows like a thief.
