The word
of the LORD
that came
to Joel,
the son
of Pethuel:
2
Hear
this,
O elders,
And listen,
all
inhabitants
of the land.
Has anything like this
happened
in your days
Or
in your fathers'
days?
3
Tell
your sons
about it, And let
your sons
tell their sons,
And their sons
the next
generation.
4
What
the gnawing
locust
has left,
the swarming
locust
has eaten;
And what
the swarming
locust
has left,
the creeping
locust
has eaten;
And what
the creeping
locust
has left,
the stripping
locust
has eaten.
5
Awake,
drunkards,
and weep;
And wail,
all
you wine
drinkers,
On account
of the sweet wine
That is cut off
from your mouth.
6
For a nation
has invaded
my land,
Mighty
and without
number;
Its teeth
are the teeth
of a lion,
And it has the fangs
of a lioness.
7
It has made
my vine
a waste
And my fig tree
splinters.
It has stripped
them bare
and cast them away;
Their branches
have become white.
8
Wail
like a virgin
girded
with sackcloth
For the bridegroom
of her youth.
9
The grain offering
and the drink offering
are cut off
From the house
of the LORD.
The priests
mourn,
The ministers
of the LORD.
10
The field
is ruined,
The land
mourns;
For the grain
is ruined,
The new wine
dries
up, Fresh oil
fails.
11
Be ashamed,
O farmers,
Wail,
O vinedressers,
For the wheat
and the barley;
Because
the harvest
of the field
is destroyed.
12
The vine
dries
up And the fig tree
fails;
The pomegranate,
the palm
also,
and the apple tree,
All
the trees
of the field
dry
up. Indeed,
rejoicing
dries
up From the sons
of men.
13
Gird yourselves
with sackcloth And lament,
O priests;
Wail,
O ministers
of the altar!
Come,
spend the night
in sackcloth
O ministers
of my God,
For the grain offering
and the drink offering
Are withheld
from the house
of your God.
14
Consecrate
a fast,
Proclaim
a solemn assembly;
Gather
the elders
And all
the inhabitants
of the land
To the house
of the LORD
your God,
And cry
out to the LORD.
15
Alas
for the day!
For the day
of the LORD
is near,
And it will come
as destruction
from the Almighty.
16
Has not food
been cut off
before
our eyes,
Gladness
and joy
from the house
of our God?
17
The seeds
shrivel
under
their clods;
The storehouses
are desolate,
The barns
are torn down,
For the grain
is dried
up.
18
How
the beasts
groan!
The herds
of cattle
wander aimlessly
Because
there is no
pasture
for them; Even
the flocks
of sheep
suffer.
19
To You, O LORD,
I cry;
For fire
has devoured
the pastures
of the wilderness
And the flame
has burned
up all
the trees
of the field.
20
Even
the beasts
of the field
pant
for You; For the water
brooks
are dried
up And fire
has devoured
the pastures
of the wilderness.
