2 It will be a dark and gloomy day,a black and cloudy day.The great army of locusts advanceslike darkness spreading over the mountains.There has never been anything like it,and there never will be again.
3 Like fire they eat up the plants.In front of them the land is like the Garden of Eden,but behind them it is a barren desert.Nothing escapes them.
4 They look like horses;they run like war horses.
5 As they leap on the tops of the mountains,they rattle like chariots;they crackle like dry grass on fire.They are lined up like a great army ready for battle.
6 As they approach, everyone is terrified;every face turns pale.
7 They attack like warriors;they climb the walls like soldiers.They all keep marching straight aheadand do not change direction
8 or get in each other's way.They swarm through defences,and nothing can stop them.
