5 like the sound of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap about; like the sound of a flame of fire devouring stubble; like a strong army arranged in rows for battle.
6 From before them nations writhe, all faces turn pale.
7 They run like mighty warriors, they scale the wall like men of war; each goes on its own way, and they do not swerve from their paths.
8 They do not jostle one another; each goes on its own trail; and through the falling weapons, they are not halted.
9 In the city they rush forth; on the walls they run. Into the houses they climb up; through the windows they enter like a thief.
10 Before them the earth quakes; the heavens tremble; the sun and the moon grow dark, and the stars have withheld their splendor
11 And Yahweh utters his voice before his army, because his encampment is very large; strong is the one who carries out his decree, for great is the day of Yahweh and exceedingly fearful. Who can endure it?
