Joel 2:5 in Context — Joel 2
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.
7 Ils s’élancent comme des guerriers, Ils escaladent les murs comme des gens de guerre; Chacun va son chemin, Sans s’écarter de sa route.
