2. a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of shadow that spreads itself upon the mountains as the dawn: a people great and strong; there has not ever been the like, neither shall there be any more after him, even to the years of many generations.
3. A fire devours before him and behind him a flame burns: the earth is as the garden of Eden before him, and behind him a desolate wilderness; neither shall anyone escape him.
4. His appearance is as the appearance of horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.
5. Like the thunder of chariots they shall leap over the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.
6. Before him the peoples shall fear: all faces shall go pale.
7. They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war, and they shall march each one in his ways, and they shall not break his ranks.
8. No one shall crowd his companion; they shall walk each one in his path: and even falling upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.
