Joel 2:9

9 They storm the city, swarm its defenses, Loot the houses, breaking down doors, smashing windows.

Joel 2:9 In-Context

7 The invaders charge. They climb barricades. Nothing stops them. Each soldier does what he's told, so disciplined, so determined.
8 They don't get in each other's way. Each one knows his job and does it. Undaunted and fearless, unswerving, unstoppable.
9 They storm the city, swarm its defenses, Loot the houses, breaking down doors, smashing windows.
10 They arrive like an earthquake, sweep through like a tornado. Sun and moon turn out their lights, stars black out.
11 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? Change Your Life
