Joel 2:5 in Context — Joel 2

3 Diante dele o fogo consome, e atrás dele a chama arde; a terra adiante dele é como o jardim do Éden, mas atrás dele como deserto devastado; nada há que dele possa escapar.

4 Sua aparência é como a aparência de cavalos, e correrão como cavaleiros.

5 Saltarão como estrondo de carruagens sobre as topos dos montes, como som de chama de fogo que consome a palha, como povo poderoso, em posição de combate.

6 Diante dele os povos se angustiarão, todos os rostos se afligirão.

7 Como guerreiros correrão, como homens de guerra subirão a muralha; e cada um irá em seus caminhos, e não torcerão suas veredas.
