Context Readings

The Day Of Yahweh Is Near

5 Like the noise of chariots they leap on the tops of the mountains. It is like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble. They are a strong people set in battle array. 6 Before them the people are in anguish;
All faces turn pale.
7 They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like men of war. They march every one on his way and do not break their ranks.
