Joel 2:5-9 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

5. Listen to them!It is like the noise of chariotsrumbling over the mountains.It is like the noise of crackling flamesburning dry stalks.They are like a powerful army lined up for battle.

6. Before this army, nations shake with fear.Their faces become pale.

7. The army charges ahead like soldiers.They climb over the walls like warriors.They all march straight ahead.They do not move off their path.

8. They do not run into each other.Each one walks in line.They charge through all efforts to stop themand stay in line.

9. They run into the city.They run along the tops of the walls.They climb into the houses.They enter through windows like a thief.
