The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that cameH1961 to JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of Pethuel.H6602
2
HearH8085 this,H2063 you oldH2205 men, and give ear,H238 allH3605 you inhabitantsH3427 of the land.H776 Has thisH2063 beenH1961 in your days,H3117 or evenH518 in the daysH3117 of your fathers?H1
3
TellH5608 you your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tell their children,H1121 and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generation.H1755
4
That which the palmerwormH1501 has leftH3499 has the locustH697 eaten;H398 and that which the locustH697 has leftH3499 has the cankerwormH3218 eaten;H398 and that which the cankerwormH3218 has leftH3499 has the caterpillarH2625 eaten.H398
5
Awake,H6974 you drunkards,H7910 and weep;H1058 and howl,H3213 allH3605 you drinkersH8354 of wine,H3196 becauseH5921 of the new wine;H6071 for it is cutH3772 off from your mouth.H6310
6
For a nationH1471 is comeH5927 up on my land,H776 strong,H6099 and withoutH369 number,H4557 whose teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lion,H738 and he has the cheekH4973 teethH4973 of a greatH3833 lion.H3833
7
He has laidH7760 my vineH1612 waste,H8047 and barkedH7111 my figH8384 tree: he has made it clean bore,H2834 and castH7993 it away; the branchesH8299 thereof are made white.H3835
8
LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youth.H5271
9
The meat offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offering is cutH3772 off from the houseH1004 of the LORD;H3068 the priests,H3548 the LORD'sH3068 ministers,H8334 mourn.H56
10
The fieldH7704 is wasted,H7703 the landH127 mourns;H56 for the cornH1715 is wasted:H7703 the newH8492 wineH8492 is driedH3001 up, the oilH3323 languishes.H535
11
Be you ashamed,H954 O you farmers;H406 howl,H3213 O you vinedressers,H3755 for the wheatH2406 and for the barley;H8184 becauseH3588 the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perished.H6
12
The vineH1612 is driedH3001 up, and the figH8384 tree languishes;H535 the pomegranateH7416 tree, the palmH8558 tree also,H1571 and the appleH8598 tree, even allH3605 the treesH6086 of the field,H7704 are withered:H3001 becauseH3588 joyH8342 is witheredH3001 away from the sonsH1121 of men.H120
13
GirdH2296 yourselves, and lament,H5594 you priests:H3548 howl,H3213 you ministersH8334 of the altar:H4196 come,H935 lieH3885 allH3885 night in sackcloth,H8242 you ministersH8334 of my God:H430 for the meat offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offering is withheldH4513 from the houseH1004 of your God.H430
14
SanctifyH6942 you a fast,H6685 callH7121 a solemnH6116 assembly,H6116 gatherH622 the eldersH2205 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your God,H430 and cryH2199 to the LORD,H3068
15
AlasH162 for the day!H3117 for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is atH7138 hand,H7138 and as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it come.H935
16
Is not the meatH400 cutH3772 off beforeH5048 our eyes,H5869 yes, joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 from the houseH1004 of our God?H430
17
The seedH6507 is rottenH5685 underH8478 their clods,H4053 the garnersH214 are laid desolate,H8074 the barnsH4460 are brokenH2040 down;H2040 for the cornH1715 is withered.H3001
18
HowH4100 do the beastsH929 groan!H584 the herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 are perplexed,H943 becauseH3588 they have noH369 pasture;H4829 yes,H1571 the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 are made desolate.H816
19
O LORD,H3068 to you will I cry:H7121 for the fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wilderness,H4057 and the flameH3852 has burnedH3857 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the field.H7704
20
The beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 cryH6165 alsoH1571 to you: for the riversH650 of watersH4325 are driedH3001 up, and the fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wilderness.H4057
