Joel 1

Joel


1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

1:2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land.
Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? 

1:3 Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, 
and their children another generation.

1:4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; 
and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; 
and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten.

1:5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; 
and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.

1:6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, 
whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.

1:7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: 
he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.

1:8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

1:9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; 
the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.

1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted:
the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

1:11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; 
howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

1:12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; 
the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, 
even all the trees of the field, are withered: 
because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

1:13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: 
come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God:
for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.

1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the 
inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD, 

1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, 
and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

1:16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? 

1:17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; 
for the corn is withered.

1:18 How do the beasts groan! 
the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; 
yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

1:19 O LORD, to thee will I cry: 
for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, 
and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.

1:20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: 
for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
