Joel 2:9 in Context — Joel 2
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.
8 Ils ne se pressent point les uns les autres, Chacun garde son rang; Ils se précipitent au travers des traits Sans arrêter leur marche.
9 Ils se répandent dans la ville, Courent sur les murailles, Montent sur les maisons, Entrent par les fenêtres comme un voleur.
10 Devant eux la terre tremble, Les cieux sont ébranlés, Le soleil et la lune s’obscurcissent, Et les étoiles retirent leur éclat.
11 L’Éternel fait entendre sa voix devant son armée; Car son camp est immense, Et l’exécuteur de sa parole est puissant; Car le jour de l’Éternel est grand, il est terrible: Qui pourra le soutenir?
