## Joel 2:7-9 in Context (Verses 4–12 KJV)
 
 [4 ](/kjv/joel/2/4) The appearance of them *is* as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
 
 [5 ](/kjv/joel/2/5) Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
 
 [6 ](/kjv/joel/2/6) Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.*
 
 [7 ](/kjv/joel/2/7) They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks:
 
 [8 ](/kjv/joel/2/8) Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every one in his path: and *when* they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.*
 
 [9 ](/kjv/joel/2/9) They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.
 
 [10 ](/kjv/joel/2/10) The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw their shining:
 
 [11 ](/kjv/joel/2/11) And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army: for his camp *is* very great: for *he is* strong that executeth his word: for the day of the LORD *is* great and very terrible; and who can abide it?
 
 [12 ](/kjv/joel/2/12) ¶ Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye *even* to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
 
[Joel 1](/kjv/joel/1) [Joel 3](/kjv/joel/3)
