Joel 2:4
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
Their appearance is like that of horses, and they gallop like swift steeds.
In context
2 a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness. Like the dawn overspreading the mountains a great and strong army appears, such as never was of old, nor will ever be in ages to come.
3 Before them a fire devours, and behind them a flame scorches. The land before them is like the Garden of Eden, but behind them, it is like a desert wasteland— surely nothing will escape them.
4 Their appearance is like that of horses, and they gallop like swift steeds.
5 With a sound like that of chariots they bound over the mountaintops, like the crackling of fire consuming stubble, like a mighty army deployed for battle.
6 Nations writhe in horror before them; every face turns pale.
