Before their face the people shall be much pained: all faces shall gather blackness.

Verse 6 is found in chapter 2 of Joel. The comparison of the army to fire, horses, and chariots communicates speed, power, and destructive capacity. The reaction of the nations reveals that the phenomenon described surpasses an ordinary experience of disaster and takes on dimensions characteristic of prophetic language concerning the day of the Lord.

Die Völker werden sich vor ihm entsetzen, aller Angesichter werden bleich.
Delante de él temerán los pueblos, pondranse mustios todos los semblantes.
Devant eux les peuples tremblent, Tous les visages pâlissent.
I popoli saranno angosciati veggendolo, ogni faccia ne impallidirà.
Diante dele temerão os povos; todos os rostos se tornarão enegrecidos.
在牠們面前,萬民傷慟, 臉都變色。
