Joel 1:11-20

11Be confounded, O ye husbandmen, wailH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; for the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6. 12The vineH1612 is witheredH3001, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree alsoH1571, and the apple-tree, even all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 are witheredH3001: for joyH8342 is witheredH3001 away from the sonsH1121 of menH120.

13GirdH2296 yourselvesH2296with sackclothH8242, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548; wailH3213, ye ministers of the altarH4196; comeH935, lie all night in sackclothH8242, ye ministers of my GodH430: for the meal-offering and the drink-offering are withholden from the houseH1004 of your GodH430. 14SanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the oldH2205 menH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 unto the houseH1004 of Jehovah your GodH430, and cryH2199 unto Jehovah.

15AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of Jehovah is at hand, and as destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935. 16Is not the foodH400 cutH3772 off before our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430? 17The seeds rot under their clods; the garners are laid desolateH8074, the barns are brokenH2040 downH2040; for the grainH1715 is witheredH3001. 18HowH4100 do the beasts groanH584! the herdsH1241 of cattleH929 are perplexed, because they have no pastureH4829; yea, the flocksH6629 of sheepH6629 are made desolate. 19O Jehovah, to thee do I cry; for the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pastures of the wildernessH4057, and the flameH3852 hath burned all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. 20Yea, the beasts of the fieldH7704 pantH6165 unto thee; for the waterH4325 brooks are driedH3001 up, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pastures of the wildernessH4057.
