5Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.
6At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.
7They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.
8No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.
9They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.
10The earth is troubled before them and the heavens are shaking: the sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining:
11And the Lord is thundering before his forces; for very great is his army; for he is strong who gives effect to his word: for the day of the Lord is great and greatly to be feared, and who has strength against it?
