1


 

  The word of the LORD 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 ye your children of it, and [let] your children [tell] their children, and their children another generation.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

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, whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

8


 

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

 

 

-

9


 

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

 

 

-

10


 

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

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

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,  

 

 

-

15


 

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

 

 

-

16


 

  Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy and gladness from the house of our God?  

 

 

-

17


 

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

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

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.  

 

 

-

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.
