New American Standard Bible 1995

The Devastation of Locusts

1The 1wordH1697 of the LordH3068 that cameH1961 to 2JoelH3100, the sonH1121 of PethuelH6602:23HearH8085 thisH2088, O 4eldersH2205, And listenH238, allH3605 inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. 5Has anything like thisH2088 happenedH1961 in your daysH3117 OrH518 in your fathers’H1 daysH3117?36TellH5608 your sonsH1121 about it, And let your sonsH1121 tell their sonsH1121, And their sonsH1121 the nextH312 generationH1755.

4WhatH3499 the 7gnawingH1501 locustH1501 has leftH3499, the swarmingH697 locustH697 has eatenH398; And whatH3499 the 8swarmingH697 locustH697 has leftH3499, the creepingH3218 locustH3218 has eatenH398; And whatH3499 the creepingH3218 locustH3218 has leftH3499, the 9strippingH2625 locustH2625 has eatenH398.5AwakeH7019, 10drunkardsH7910, and weepH1058; And wailH3213, allH3605 you wineH3196 drinkersH8354, On accountH5921 of the sweetH6071 wineH6071 That is 11cutH3772 offH3772 from your mouthH6310.6For a 12nationH1471 has 13invadedH5927 my landH776, MightyH6099 and withoutH369 numberH4557; 14Its teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH743, And it has the fangsH4973 of a lionessH3833.7It has 15madeH7760 my vineH1612 a wasteH8047 And my figH8384 treeH8384 16splintersH7111. It has strippedH2834 them bareH2834 and castH7993 them awayH7993; Their branchesH8299 have becomeH3835 whiteH3835.

817WailH421 like a virginH1330 18girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 For the bridegroomH1167 of her youthH5271.9The 19grain offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offeringH5262 are cutH3772 offH3772 From the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. The 20priestsH3548 mournH56, The ministersH8334 of the LordH3068.10The fieldH7704 is 21ruinedH7703, 22The landH127 mournsH56; For the grainH1715 is ruinedH7703, The newH8492 wineH8492 driesH3001 up, FreshH3323 oilH3323 23failsH535.112425Be ashamedH954, O farmersH406, WailH3213, O vinedressersH3755, For the wheatH2406 and the barleyH8184; BecauseH3588 the 26harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is destroyedH6.12The 27vineH1612 driesH3001 up And the figH8384 treeH8384 28failsH535; The 29pomegranateH7416, the 30palmH8558 alsoH1571, and the 3132appleH8598 treeH8598, AllH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 dryH3001 up. IndeedH3588, 33rejoicingH8342 driesH3001 up From the sonsH1121 of menH120.

1334GirdH2296 yourselvesH2296 with sackcloth And lamentH5594, O priestsH3548; 35WailH3213, O ministersH8334 of the altarH4196! ComeH935, 36spendH3885 the nightH3885 in sackclothH8242 O ministersH8334 of my GodH430, For the grain offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offeringH5262 Are withheldH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.

Starvation and Drought

1437ConsecrateH6942 a fastH6685, ProclaimH7121 a 38solemnH6116 assemblyH6116; GatherH622 the eldersH2205 And allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 To the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, And 39cryH2199 out to the LordH3068.1540AlasH162 for the dayH3117! For the 41dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138, And it will comeH935 as 42destructionH7701 from the 43AlmightyH7706.16Has not 44foodH400 been cutH3772 offH3772 beforeH5048 our eyesH5869, GladnessH8057 and 45joyH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?17The 4647seedsH6507 shrivelH5685 underH8478 their 48clodsH4053; The storehousesH214 are desolateH8074, The barnsH4460 are tornH2040 downH2040, For the grainH1715 is driedH3001 up.18HowH4100 49the beastsH929 groanH584! The herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 wanderH943 aimlesslyH943 BecauseH3588 thereH369 is noH369 pastureH4829 for them; EvenH1571 the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 50sufferH816.1951To You, O LordH3068, I cryH7121; For 52fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057 And the flameH3852 has burnedH3857 up allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.20EvenH1571 the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 5354pantH6165 for You; For the 55waterH4325 brooksH650 are driedH3001 up And fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
