A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.

ગુજરાતીયોએલ ૨:૩
અગ્નિ તેઓની આગળ ભસ્મ કરે છે, અને તેઓની પાછળ જ્વાળાઓ બળે છે. તેઓની સમક્ષ ભૂમિ એદન બાગ જેવી છે, અને તેઓની પાછળ તે ઉજ્જડ અરણ્ય જેવી થાય છે. તેમના હાથમાંથી કોઈ પણ બચી જતું નથી.
हिन्दीयोएल २:३
उसके आगे-आगे तो आग भस्म करती जाएगी, और उसके पीछे-पीछे लौ जलाती जाएगी। उसके आगे की भूमि तो अदन की बारी के समान होगी, परन्तु उसके पीछे की भूमि उजाड़ मरुस्थल बन जाएगी, और उससे कुछ न बचेगा।

In context

1Blow 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 comes, for it is close at hand:

2A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

3A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.

4Their appearance is as the appearance of horses, and they run as horsemen.

5Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains, they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle array.
