Book 29 Joel Chapter 001

 

001:001The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

 

001:002Hear 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?

 

001:003Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their
children, and their children another generation.

 

001:004That 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.

 

001:005Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of
wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your
mouth.

 

001:006For 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.

 

001:007He 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.

 

001:008Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of
her youth.

 

001:009The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the
house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.

 

001:010The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is
wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

 

001:011Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for
the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field
is perished.

 

001:012The 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.

 

001:013Gird 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.

 

001:014Sanctify 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,

 

001:015Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a
destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

 

001:016Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness
from the house of our God?

 

001:017The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid
desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.

 

001:018How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed,
because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are
made desolate.

 

001:019O 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.

 

001:020The 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.
