Joel 2:7 - Compare All Versions

They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. They all march in line, not swerving from their course.

Like warriors they charge; like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way; they do not swerve from their paths.

The attackers march like warriors and scale city walls like soldiers. Straight forward they march, never breaking rank.

They attack as warriors attack; they scale walls as men of war do. Each goes on his own path,  and they do not change their course.

They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall not break their ranks

They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks.

The invaders charge. They climb barricades. Nothing stops them. Each soldier does what he’s told, so disciplined, so determined. They don’t get in each other’s way. Each one knows his job and does it. Undaunted and fearless, unswerving, unstoppable. They storm the city, swarm its defenses, Loot the houses, breaking down doors, smashing windows. They arrive like an earthquake, sweep through like a tornado. Sun and moon turn out their lights, stars black out. GOD himself bellows in thunder as he commands his forces. Look at the size of that army! And the strength of those who obey him! GOD’s Judgment Day—great and terrible. Who can possibly survive this?

They run like warriors, They climb the wall like soldiers; And each of them marches in line, Nor do they lose their way.

They run like warriors; They climb the wall like soldiers. They each march [straight ahead] in line, And they do not deviate from their paths.

They charge like warriors; they scale walls like soldiers. Each one proceeds on his course; they do not alter their path.
