JOE-1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of
Pethuel.
JOE-1:2 Hear 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?
JOE-1:3 Tell ye your children of it, and [let] your children
[tell] their children, and their children another generation.
JOE-1:4 That 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
caterpillar eaten.
JOE-1:5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers
of wine, because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your
mouth.
JOE-1:6 For 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.
JOE-1:7 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.
JOE-1:8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the
husband of her youth.
JOE-1:9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from
the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
JOE-1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is
wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
JOE-1:11 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.
JOE-1:12 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 joy is
withered away from the sons of men.
JOE-1:13 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.
JOE-1:14 Sanctify 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.
JOE-1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [is] at hand,
and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
JOE-1:16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy and
gladness from the house of our God?
JOE-1:17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are
laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is
withered.
JOE-1:18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are
perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of
sheep are made desolate.
JOE-1:19 O 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.
JOE-1:20 The 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.
