5 aWith a noise like chariots
Over mountaintops they leap,
Like the noise of a flaming fire that devours the stubble,
Like a strong people set in battle array.

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

Though they lunge between the weapons,
They are not1 cut down.
Every one marches in his own1 column.

They are not1 cut down.
9 They run to and fro in the city,
They run on the wall;
They climb into the houses,
They aenter at the windows blike a thief.

The heavens tremble;
bThe sun and moon grow dark,
And the stars diminish their brightness.

dWho can endure it?

A Call to Repentance
12 “Now, therefore,” says the Lord,
a“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
a“Turn to Me with all your heart,
With fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.”
13 So arend your heart, and not byour garments;
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is cgracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
Return to the Lord your God,
For He is cgracious and merciful,
Slow to anger, and of great kindness;
And He relents from doing harm.
