Verse 6
"At their presence the people are in anguish; all faces are waxed pale.
It is clearly not the destruction of vegetation that is indicated here; it is a prophecy of the appearance of "the breakers," the ruthless and savage army of Assyria that was capable of striking the fear of death into every heart and blanching the faces of all the people with paleness. As Keil said, "Joel is no doubt depicting something more here than the devastation caused by the locusts in his own day."[15]
