CHAP. I.
The prophet describes the judgments, that shall fall upon the
people, and invites them to fasting and prayer.
1 The word of the
Lord that came to
Joel the son of Phatuel.
2 Hear this, ye old men,
and give ear, all ye inhabitants
of the land: did this ever
happen in your days, or in
the days of your fathers?
3 Tell ye of this to your
children, and let your children
tell their children, and
their children to another generation.
4 noteThat which the palmer-worm
hath left, the locust
hath eaten; and that which
the locust hath left, the bruchus
hath eaten; and that
which the bruchus hath left,
the mildew hath destroyed.
5 Awake, ye that are drunk,
and weep, and mourn all ye
that take delight in drinking
sweet wine; for it is cut off
from your mouth.
6 For a nation is come up
upon my land, strong and without
number; his teeth are like
the teeth of a lion: and his
-- --
cheek-teeth as of a lion's
whelp.
7 He hath laid my vineyard
waste, and hath pilled
off the bark of my fig-tree:
he hath stripped it bare, and
cast it away: the branches
thereof are made white.
8 Lament like a virgin
girded with sackcloth for the
husband of her youth.
9 Sacrifice and libation is
cut off from the house of the
Lord: the priests, the Lord's
ministers, have mourned:
10 The country is destroyed,
the ground hath mourned:
for the corn is wasted,
the wine is confounded, the
oil hath languished.
11 The husbandmen are
ashamed, the vine-dressers have
howled for the wheat, and
for the barley, because the
harvest of the field is perished.
12 The vineyard is confounded,
and the fig-tree hath
languished: the pomegranate-tree,
and the palm-tree, and
the apple-tree, and all the trees
of the field are withered: because
joy is withdrawn from
the children of men.
13 Gird yourselves, and
lament, O ye priests, howl,
ye ministers of the altar: go
in, lie in sackcloth, ye ministers
of my God: because sacrifice
and libation is cut off
from the house of your God.
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call
an assembly, gather together
the ancients, and all the inhabitants
of the land into the
house of your God: and cry
ye to the Lord:
15 Ah, ah, ah, for the
day: because the day of the
Lord is at hand, and it shall
come like destruction from
the mighty.
16 Is not your food cut off
before your eyes, and joy
and gladness from the house of
our God?
17 The beasts have rotted
in their dung, the barns are
destroyed, the store-houses are
broken down: because the
corn is confounded.
18 Why did the beast
groan, why did the herds of
cattle low? because there is
no pasture for them: yea and
the flocks of sheep are perished.
19 To thee, O Lord, will
I cry: because fire hath devoured
the beautiful places of
the wilderness, and the flame
hath burnt all the trees of the
country.
20 Yea and the beasts of
the field have looked up to
thee, as a garden bed that
thirsteth after rain, for the
springs of waters are dried up,
and fire hath devoured the
beautiful places of the wilderness.
