Potmos Hetoimos - Army of Locusts

Blow ye the trumpet in Zion
And sound an alarm in my holy mountain
Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble
For the day of the LORD cometh, for it is nigh at hand

A day of darkness and of gloominess
A day of clouds and of thick darkness
As the morning spread upon the mountains
A great people and a strong
There hath not been ever the like
Neither shall be any more after it
Even to the years of many generations

A fire devoureth before them
And behind them a flame burneth
The land is as the garden of Eden before them
And behind them a desolate wilderness
Yea, and nothing shall escape them

The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses
And as horsemen, so shall they run

Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains shall they leap
Like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble
As a strong people set in battle array

Before their face the people shall be much pained
All faces shall gather blackness

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

Neither shall one thrust another
They shall walk every one in his path
And when they fall upon the sword
They shall not be wounded

They shall run to and fro in the city
They shall run upon the wall
They shall climb up upon the houses
They shall enter in at the windows like a thief

The earth shall quake before them
The heavens shall tremble
The sun and the moon shall be dark
And the stars shall withdraw their shining

And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army
For his camp is very great
For he is strong that executeth his word
For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible
And who can abide it?

Therefore also now, saith the LORD
Turn ye even to me with all your heart
And with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning

And rend your heart, and not your garments
And turn unto the LORD your God
For he is gracious and merciful
Slow to anger, and of great kindness
And repenteth him of the evil

(Joel 2:1-13)
