Joel 1
The
word
of
the
Lord
that
came
to
Joel
the
son
of
Pethuel.
2 Hear
this,
ye
a
old
men,
and
give
ear,
all
ye
b
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
a
That
which
the
a
palmerworm
hath
left
hath
the
b
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
a
cut
off
from
your
mouth.
6 For
a
nation
is
come
up
upon
my
land,
strong,
and
without
a
number,
whose
b
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
a
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
a
land
mourneth;
for
the
b
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
a
joy
is
withered
away
from
the
sons
of
men.
13
a
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
a
fast,
call
a
b
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
a
day
of
the
Lord
is
at
hand,
and
as
a
destruction
from
the
Almighty
shall
it
come.
16 Is
not
the
a
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
a
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
a
fire
hath
devoured
the
pastures
of
the
wilderness,
and
the
flame
hath
burned
all
the
trees
of
the
field.
20 The
a
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.
