Joel 2:15-27

15BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, hallow a fastH6685, proclaimH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116;

16gatherH6908 the peopleH5971, hallow the congregation, assemble the eldersH2205, gatherH6908 the childrenH5768, and those that suckH3243 the breastsH7699; let the bridegroom goH3318 forthH3318 from his chamberH2315, and the brideH3618 from her closet.

17Let the priestsH3548, the ministers of Jehovah, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, Spare, O Jehovah, thy peopleH5971, and giveH5414 not thine inheritanceH5159 to reproachH2781, that they should be a byword of the nationsH1471. Wherefore should they sayH559 among the peoplesH5971, WhereH346 is their 1GodH430?

18Then Jehovah will be jealousH7065 for his landH776, and will have pityH2550 on his peopleH5971.

19And Jehovah will answerH6030 and sayH559 unto his peopleH5971, Behold, I sendH7971 you corn, and newH8492 wineH8492, and oilH3323, and ye shall be satisfiedH7646 therewith; and I will no more makeH5414 you a reproachH2781 among the nationsH1471.

20And I will removeH7368 farH7368 off from you him [that cometh] from the north, and will driveH5080 him into a landH776 barren and desolate, his faceH6440 toward the easternH6931 seaH3220, and his rear toward the hinder seaH3220; and his stenchH889 shall comeH5927 up, and his ill odour shall comeH5927 up, for he hath exalted himself to do greatH1431 thingsH1431.

21— FearH3372 not, O landH127; be gladH8055 and rejoiceH8055: for Jehovah doeth greatH1431 thingsH1431.

22Be not afraidH3372, ye beasts of the fieldH7704: for the pastures of the wildernessH4057 do spring; for the treeH6086 beareth its fruitH6529; the fig-tree and the vineH1612 yield full increase.

23And ye, children of ZionH6726, be gladH8055 and rejoiceH8055 in Jehovah your 2GodH430; for he giveth you the early rainH1653 in due measure, and he causeth to comeH3381 down for you the rainH1653, the early rainH1653, and the latter rainH1653 at the beginning [of the season].

24And the floorsH1637 shall be fullH4390 of corn, and the vats shall overflowH7783 with newH8492 wineH8492 and oilH3323.

25And I will restore to you the yearsH8141 that the locustH697 hath eatenH398, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my greatH1419 armyH2428 which I sentH7971 among you.

26And ye shall eatH398 in plenty, and be satisfiedH7646, and praiseH1984 the nameH8034 of Jehovah your 3GodH430, who hath dealt wondrously with you: and my peopleH5971 shall never be ashamedH954.

27And ye shall knowH3045 that I am in the midstH7130 of IsraelH3478, and that I, Jehovah, [am] your 4GodH430, and there is none else: and my peopleH5971 shall never be ashamedH954.
