Chapter 1

1


 

  The word of Jehovah that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.  

 

 

-

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?  

 

 

-

3


 

  Tell your children of it, and [let] your children [tell] their children, and their children another generation:  

 

 

-

4


 

  that which the palmer-worm 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 caterpillar eaten.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

6


 

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

 

 

-

7


 

  He hath made my vine a desolation, and barked my fig-tree; he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away: its branches are made white.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.  

 

 

-

9


 

  The oblation and the drink-offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.  

 

 

-

10


 

  The field is laid waste, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.  

 

 

-

11


 

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

 

 

-

12


 

  The vine is dried up, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm also and the apple-tree; all the trees of the field are withered, yea, joy is withered away from the children of men.  

 

 

-

13


 

  Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests; howl, ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the oblation and the drink-offering are withholden from the house of your God.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Hallow a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, gather the elders, [and] all the inhabitants of the land to the house of Jehovah your God, and cry unto Jehovah.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Alas for the day! for the day of Jehovah is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.  

 

 

-

16


 

  Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?  

 

 

-

17


 

  The seeds are rotten under their clods, the granaries are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.  

 

 

-

18


 

  How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are bewildered, for they have no pasture; the flocks of sheep also are in suffering.  

 

 

-

19


 

  To thee, Jehovah, do I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned up all the trees of the field.  

 

 

-

20


 

  The beasts of the field also cry unto thee; for the water-courses are dried, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
