CHAP. I.
1 A prophecie against the Iewes. 2 He exhorteth the people to
prayer, and fasting for the miserie that was at hand.
1 The worde of the Lorde that came
to Ioel the sonne of Pethuel.
2 Heare ye this, O note Elders, and
hearken ye all inhabitantes of the
land, whether note such a thing hath
bene in your dayes, or yet in the
dayes of your fathers.
3 Tell you your children of it, and let your
children shew to their children, and their children
to another generation.
4 That which is left of þe; palmer worme, hath
the grashopper eaten, & the residue of þe; grashopper
hath the canker worme eaten, and the residue
of the canker worme hath the caterpiller eaten.
5 Awake ye note drunkards, and weepe, & howle
all ye drinkers of wine, because of the newe wine:
for it shalbe pulled from your mouth.
6 Yea, note a nation commeth vpon my lande,
mightie, & without nomber, whose teeth are like
the teeth of a lyon, and he hath the iawes of a
great lyon.
7 He maketh my vine waste, & pilleth off the
barke of my figge tree: he maketh it bare, and casteth
it downe: þe; branches therof are made white.
8 Mourne like a virgine girded with sackcloth
for the note husband of her youth.
9 The meate offring, & the drinke offring is
note cut off from the House of the Lord: the Priests
the Lords ministers mourne.
10 The fielde is wasted: the lande mourneth:
for the corne is destroyed: note the new wine is dried
vp, and the oyle is decayed.
11 Be ye ashamed, O husband men: howle, O
ye vine dressers for the wheate, and for the barly,
because the haruest of the fielde is perished.
12 The vine is dried vp, and the figge tree is
decayed: the pomegranate tree & the palme tree,
and the apple tree, euen all the trees of the fielde
are withered: surely the ioy is withered away from
the sonnes of men.
13 noteGirde your selues and lament, ye Priests:
howle ye ministers of the altar: come, and lie all
night in sackecloth, ye ministers of my God: for
the meate offring, and the drinke offring is taken
away from the house of your God.
14 Sanctifie you a fast: call a solemne assemblie:
gather the Elders, and all the inhabitants of
the land into the House of the Lorde your God,
and cry vnto the Lord,
15 Alas: for the day, for the note day of the Lord
is at hand, and it commeth as a destruction from
the Almightie.
16 Is not the meate cut off before our eyes? &
ioy, and gladnesse from the house of our God?
17 The seede is rotten vnder their cloddes: the
garners are destroyed: the barnes are broken
downe, for the corne is withered.
18 How did the beasts mourne! the herdes of
cattel pine away, because they haue no pasture, &
the flockes of sheepe are destroyed.
19 O Lord, to thee will I crie: for the fire hath
-- --
To rent the heart.
deuoured the pastures of the wildernesse, and the
flame hath burnt vp all the trees of the fielde.
20 The beasts of the fielde cry also vnto thee:
for the riuers of waters are dried vp, and the note fire
hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernes.
