Chap. I.
The Chaldees shal miserably waste the kingdom of Iuda: 9. take away sacrifice
by destroying the temple: 10. and so make the land barren spiritually,
and temporally.
1 The word of our Lord, that was made to Ioel the
sonne of Phatuel.
2 Heare this ye ancients, and
harken with your eares al ye inhabitants of the
land: if this hath bene done in your dayes, or in
the dayes of your fathers?
3 Vpon this note tel you to your children,
and your children to their children, and their childred to
an other generation.
4 09Q0318The residue of the eruke hath the
locust eaten, & the residue of the locust hath the bruke eaten,
and the residue of the bruke hath the blast eaten.
5 Awake
you that be drunke, and weepe, and howle al ye, that drinke
wine in sweetnes: because it is perished from your mouth.
6 For a nation is ascended vpon my land, strong & innumerable:
his teeth as the teeth of a lion: and his cheekteeth as of a
lions whelpe.
7 He hath layd my vineyard into a desert, and
hath pilled of the barke of my figtree: stripping he hath spoiled
it, and cast it forth: the boughes therof are made white.
8 Mourne as a virgin girded with sackcloth vpon the husband
of her youth.
9 noteSacrifice and libation is perished out of the
house of our Lord: the priests our Lords ministers mourned.
10 The region is destroyed, the ground hath mourned: because
-- --
the wheate is wasted, the wine is confounded, the oyle hath
languished.
11 The husbandmen are confounded, the dressers
of vines haue howled vpon the wheate, and the barley, because
the haruest of the filde is perished.
12 The vineyard is confounded,
and the figtree hath languished: the pomegranet, &
the palmetree, and the appletree, and al the trees of the filde
are withered: because ioy is confounded from the children of
men.
13 Gird yourselues, and mourne ye priests, howle ye
ministers of the altar: goe in, lie in sacke clothe ye ministers
of my God: because sacrifice & libation is perished out of the
house of your God.
14 noteSanctifie ye a fast, cal an assemblie,
gather together the ancients, al the inhabitants of the land into
the house of your God: and crie ye to our Lord:
15 A a a, for
the day: because the day of our Lord is at hand, and as destruction
from the mightie it shal come.
16 Why, are not the victuals
perished before your eyes, ioy and exultation out of the
house of our God?
17 The beastes are rotted in their dung, the
barnes are destroyed, the storehouses are dissipated: because
the wheate is confounded.
18 Why groned the beast, why lowed
the flockes of the heard? because there is no pasture for them:
yea and the flockes of the cattel are perished.
19 To thee รด Lord
wil I crie: because fire hath eaten the beautiful thinges of the
desert, and the flame hath burnt al the trees of the region.
20 Yea and the beastes of the filde, as a garden bed thirsting for
a shower, haue looked vp to thee, because the fountaines of
waters are dried vp, & fire hath deuoured the beautiful thinges
of the desert.
