Joel 2:7 Context
5Like the noise of charets on the tops of mountaines shall they leape, like the noise of a flame of fire that deuoureth the stubble, as a strong people, set in battell aray. 6Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blacknesse. 7They shall runne like mighty men, they shall clime the wall like men of warre, and they shall march euery one on his wayes, and they shall not breake their rankes. 8Neither shall one thrust another, they shall walke euery one in his path: and when they fall vpon the sword, they shall not be wounded. 9They shall runne to and fro in the citie: they shall runne vpon the wall: they shall clime vp vpon the houses: they shall enter in at the windowes, like a theefe.
