Joel 2:4 in Context — Joel 2

2 Jour de ténèbres et d’obscurité, Jour de nuées et de brouillards, Il vient comme l’aurore se répand sur les montagnes. Voici un peuple nombreux et puissant, Tel qu’il n’y en a jamais eu, Et qu’il n’y en aura jamais dans la suite des âges.

3 Devant lui est un feu dévorant, Et derrière lui une flamme brûlante; Le pays était auparavant comme un jardin d’Éden, Et depuis, c’est un désert affreux: Rien ne lui échappe.

4 A les voir, on dirait des chevaux, Et ils courent comme des cavaliers.

5 A les entendre, on dirait un bruit de chars Sur le sommet des montagnes où ils bondissent, On dirait un pétillement de la flamme du feu, Quand elle consume le chaume. C’est comme une armée puissante Qui se prépare au combat.

6 Devant eux les peuples tremblent, Tous les visages pâlissent.
