1The word^H1697 of the Lord^H3068 that came^H1961 to Joel,^H3100 the son^H1121 of Pethuel.^H6602
2Hear^H8085 this,^H2088 O elders,^H2205 And listen,^H238 all^H3605 inhabitants^H3427 of the land.^H776 Has [anything like] this^H2088 happened^H1961 in your days^H3117 Or^H518 in your fathers' days^H3117?
3Tell^H5608 your sons^H1121 about it, And [let] your sons^H1121 [tell] their sons,^H1121 And their sons^H1121 the next^H312 generation.^H1755
4What^H3499 the gnawing^H1501 locust^H1501 has left,^H3499 the swarming^H697 locust^H697 has eaten;^H398 And what^H3499 the swarming^H697 locust^H697 has left,^H3499 the creeping^H3218 locust^H3218 has eaten;^H398 And what^H3499 the creeping^H3218 locust^H3218 has left,^H3499 the stripping^H2625 locust^H2625 has eaten.^H398
5Awake,^H9516 drunkards,^H7910 and weep;^H1058 And wail,^H3213 all^H3605 you wine^H3196 drinkers,^H8354 On account^H5921 of the sweet^H6071 wine^H6071 That is cut^H3772 off^H3772 from your mouth.^H6310
6For a nation^H1471 has invaded^H5927 my land,^H776 Mighty^H6099 and without^H369 number;^H4557 Its teeth^H8127 are the teeth^H8127 of a lion,^H9030 And it has the fangs^H4973 of a lioness.^H3833
7It has made^H7760 my vine^H1612 a waste,^H8047 And my fig^H8384 tree^H8384 splinters.^H7111 It has stripped^H2834 them bare^H2834 and cast^H7993 [them] away;^H7993 Their branches^H8299 have become^H3835 white.^H3835
8Wail^H421 like a virgin^H1330 girded^H2296 with sackcloth^H8242 For the bridegroom^H1167 of her youth.^H5271
9The grain offering^H4503 and the libation^H5262 are cut^H3772 off^H3772 From the house^H1004 of the Lord.^H3068 The priests^H3548 mourn,^H56 The ministers^H8334 of the Lord.^H3068
10The field^H7704 is ruined,^H7703 The land^H127 mourns,^H56 For the grain^H1715 is ruined,^H7703 The new^H8492 wine^H8492 dries^H3001 up, Fresh^H3323 oil^H3323 fails.^H535
11Be ashamed,^H954 O farmers,^H406 Wail,^H3213 O vinedressers,^H3755 For the wheat^H2406 and the barley;^H8184 Because^H3588 the harvest^H7105 of the field^H7704 is destroyed.
12The vine^H1612 dries^H3001 up, And the fig^H8384 tree^H8384 fails;^H535 The pomegranate,^H7416 the palm^H8558 also,^H1571 and the apple^H8598 tree,^H8598 All^H3605 the trees^H6086 of the field^H7704 dry^H3001 up. Indeed,^H3588 rejoicing^H8342 dries^H3001 up From the sons^H1121 of men.^H120
13Gird^H2296 yourselves^H2296 [with sackcloth^H8242], And lament,^H5594 O priests;^H3548 Wail,^H3213 O ministers^H8334 of the altar!^H4196 Come,^H935 spend^H3885 the night^H3885 in sackcloth, O ministers^H8334 of my God,^H430 For the grain offering^H4503 and the libation^H5262 Are withheld^H4513 from the house^H1004 of your God.^H430
14Consecrate^H6942 a fast,^H6685 Proclaim^H7121 a solemn^H6116 assembly;^H6116 Gather^H622 the elders^H2205 [And] all^H3605 the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776 To the house^H1004 of the Lord^H3068 your God,^H430 And cry^H2199 out to the Lord.^H3068
15Alas^H162 for the day!^H3117 For the day^H3117 of the Lord^H3068 is near,^H7138 And it will come^H935 as destruction^H7701 from the Almighty.^H7706
16Has not food^H400 been cut^H3772 off^H3772 before^H5048 our eyes,^H5869 Gladness^H8057 and joy^H1524 from the house^H1004 of our God^H430?
17The seeds^H6507 shrivel^H5685 under^H8478 their clods;^H4053 The storehouses^H214 are desolate,^H8074 The barns^H4460 are torn^H2040 down,^H2040 For the grain^H1715 is dried^H3001 up.
18How^H4100 the beasts^H929 groan!^H584 The herds^H5739 of cattle^H1241 wander^H943 aimlessly^H943 Because^H3588 there^H369 is no^H369 pasture^H4829 for them; Even^H1571 the flocks^H5739 of sheep^H6629 suffer.^H816
19To Thee, O Lord,^H3068 I cry;^H7121 For fire^H784 has devoured^H398 the pastures^H4999 of the wilderness,^H4057 And the flame^H3852 has burned^H3857 up all^H3605 the trees^H6086 of the field.^H7704
20Even^H1571 the beasts^H929 of the field^H7704 pant^H6165 for Thee; For the water^H4325 brooks^H650 are dried^H3001 up, And fire^H784 has devoured^H398 the pastures^H4999 of the wilderness.^H4057
