The Day Of Yahweh Is Near

8 They do not crowd each other,
They march everyone in his path;
When they burst through the defenses,
They do not break ranks.
9 They rush on the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They enter through the windows like a thief.

The heavens tremble,
The sun and the moon grow dark
And the stars lose their brightness.
