Joel 2:8

And each does not press his brother, || They each go on in his way, || If they fall by the missile, they are not cut off.

Literal Standard Version

In The King James Version

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.

In Context

7They run as mighty ones, || As men of war they go up a wall, || And they each go in his own ways, || And they do not change their paths.

9In the city they run to and fro, || On the wall they run, || Into houses they go up by the windows, || They go in as a thief.
