They run like mighty men.
They climb the wall like warriors.
They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Joel 2:7 in context
Joel 2:4–10
4
Their appearance is as the appearance of horses,
and they run as horsemen.
5
Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap,
like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble,
like a strong people set in battle array.
6
At their presence the peoples are in anguish.
All faces have grown pale.
7
Selected verse
They run like mighty men.
They climb the wall like warriors.
They each march in his line, and they don’t swerve off course.
8
One doesn’t jostle another.
They each march in their own path.
They burst through the defenses
and don’t break ranks.
9
They rush on the city.
They run on the wall.
They climb up into the houses.
They enter in at the windows like thieves.
10
The earth quakes before them.
The heavens tremble.
The sun and the moon are darkened,
and the stars withdraw their shining.
