Joel 2:9 in context

Joel 2:6–12

6

At their presence the peoples are in anguish.

All faces have grown pale.

7

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
Selected verse

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.

11

The LORD thunders his voice before his army,

for his forces are very great;

for he is strong who obeys his command;

for the day of the LORD is great and very awesome,

and who can endure it?

12

“Yet even now,” says the LORD, “turn to me with all your heart,

and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
