5 They roar over mountainslike noisy chariots,or a mighty armyready for battle.They are a forest firethat feasts on straw.
6 The very sight of themis frightening.
7 They climb over wallslike warriors;they march in columnsand never turn aside.
8 They charge straight ahead,without pushing each other;even arrows and spearscannot make them retreat.
9 They swarm over city wallsand enter our homes;they crawl in through windows,just like thieves.
10 They make the earth trembleand the heavens shake;the sun and moon turn dark,and stars stop shining.
11 The Lord God leads this armyof countless troops,and they obey his commands.The day of his judgmentis so terriblethat no one can stand it.
