"At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale."
— Joel 2:6, World English Bible
“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. ”
“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 devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has 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 devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.
They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. They each march in his line, and they don't swerve off course.
Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and don't break ranks.
They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.
