1 The word 1697 of the LORD 3068 that came to Joel 3100 the son 1121 of Pethuel 6602.
2 Hear 8085 this, ye old men 2205, and give ear 238, all ye inhabitants 3427 of the land 776. Hath this been in your days 3117, or even 518 in the days 3117 of your fathers 1?
3 Tell 5608 ye your children 1121 of it, and let your children 1121 tell their children 1121, and their children 1121 another 312 generation 1755.
4 That which the palmerworm 1501 hath left 3499 hath the locust 697 eaten 398; and that which the locust 697 hath left 3499 hath the cankerworm 3218 eaten 398; and that which the cankerworm 3218 hath left 3499 hath the caterpiller 2625 eaten 398.
5 Awake 6974, ye drunkards 7910, and weep 1058; and howl 3213, all ye drinkers 8354 of wine 3196, because of the new wine 6071; for it is cut off 3772 from your mouth 6310.
6 For a nation 1471 is come up 5927 upon my land 776, strong 6099, and without number 4557, whose teeth 8127 are the teeth 8127 of a lion 738, and he hath the cheek teeth 4973 of a great lion 3833.
7 He hath laid 7760 my vine 1612 waste 8047, and barked 7111 my fig tree 8384: he hath made it clean 2834 bare 2834, and cast it away 7993; the branches 8299 thereof are made white 3835.
8 Lament 421 like a virgin 1330 girded 2296 with sackcloth 8242 for the husband 1167 of her youth 5271.
9 The meat offering 4503 and the drink offering 5262 is cut off 3772 from the house 1004 of the LORD 3068; the priests 3548, the LORD'S 3068 ministers 8334, mourn 56.
10 The field 7704 is wasted 7703, the land 127 mourneth 56; for the corn 1715 is wasted 7703: the new wine 8492 is dried up 3001, the oil 3323 languisheth 535.
11 Be ye ashamed 3001, O ye husbandmen 406; howl 3213, O ye vinedressers 3755, for the wheat 2406 and for the barley 8184; because the harvest 7105 of the field 7704 is perished 6.
12 The vine 1612 is dried up 3001, and the fig tree 8384 languisheth 535; the pomegranate 7416 tree, the palm tree 8558 also, and the apple tree 8598, even all the trees 6086 of the field 7704, are withered 3001: because joy 8342 is withered away 3001 from the sons 1121 of men 120.
13 Gird 2296 yourselves, and lament 5594, ye priests 3548: howl 3213, ye ministers 8334 of the altar 4196: come 935, lie all night 3885 in sackcloth 8242, ye ministers 8334 of my God 430: for the meat offering 4503 and the drink offering 5262 is withholden 4513 from the house 1004 of your God 430.
14 Sanctify 6942 ye a fast 6685, call 7121 a solemn assembly 6116, gather 622 the elders 2205 and all the inhabitants 3427 of the land 776 into the house 1004 of the LORD 3068 your God 430, and cry 2199 unto the LORD 3068,
15 Alas 162 for the day 3117! for the day 3117 of the LORD 3068 is at hand 7138, and as a destruction 7701 from the Almighty 7706 shall it come 935.
16 Is not the meat 400 cut off 3772 before our eyes 5869, yea, joy 8057 and gladness 1524 from the house 1004 of our God 430?
17 The seed 6507 is rotten 5685 under their clods 4053, the garners 214 are laid desolate 8074, the barns 4460 are broken down 2040; for the corn 1715 is withered 3001.
18 How do the beasts 929 groan 584! the herds 5739 of cattle 1241 are perplexed 943, because they have no pasture 4829; yea, the flocks 5739 of sheep 6629 are made desolate 816.
19 O LORD 3068, to thee will I cry 7121: for the fire 784 hath devoured 398 the pastures 4999 of the wilderness 4057, and the flame 3852 hath burned 3857 all the trees 6086 of the field 7704.
20 The beasts 929 of the field 7704 cry 6165 also unto thee: for the rivers 650 of waters 4325 are dried up 3001, and the fire 784 hath devoured 398 the pastures 4999 of the wilderness 4057.
