Joel 2:6-8

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶ Before them peoples are in anguish,
    all faces grow pale.^[a]
7 Like warriors they charge,
    like soldiers they scale the wall.
Each keeps to its own course,
    they do not swerve from^[b] their paths.
⁸ They do not jostle one another,
    each keeps to its own track;
they burst through the weapons
    and are not halted.
