New American Standard Bible 2020

The Devastation by Locusts

1The 1wordH1697 of the LordH3068 that cameH1961 to 2JoelH3100, the sonH1121 of PethuelH6602:23HearH8085 thisH2088, you 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 have your sonsH1121 tell their sonsH1121, And their sonsH1121 the nextH312 generationH1755.

4WhatH3499 the 7gnawingH1501 locustH1501 has leftH3499, the 8swarmingH697 locustH697 has eatenH398; And whatH3499 the 9swarmingH697 locustH697 has leftH3499, the creepingH3218 locustH3218 has eatenH398; And whatH3499 the creepingH3218 locustH3218 has leftH3499, the 10strippingH2625 locustH2625 has eatenH398.5AwakeH7019, 11you heavyH7910 drinkersH7910, and weepH1058; And wailH3213, allH3605 you wineH3196 drinkersH8354, BecauseH5921 of the sweetH6071 wineH6071, For it has been 12eliminatedH3772 from your mouthH6310.6For a 13nationH1471 has 14invadedH5927 my landH776, MightyH6099 and withoutH369 numberH4557; 15Its teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH743, And it has the jawsH4973 of a lionessH3833.7It has 16madeH7760 my vineH1612 a wasteH8047 And my figH8384 treeH8384 a stumpH7111. It has strippedH2834 them bareH2834 and hurledH7993 them awayH7993; Their branchesH8299 have becomeH3835 whiteH3835.

817WailH421 like a virginH1330 18clothedH2296 with sackclothH8242 For the groomH1167 of her youthH5271.9The 19grain offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offeringH5262 have been 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 has driedH3001 upH3001, FreshH3323 oilH3323 has 23failedH535.1124BeH954 ashamedH954, you farmH406 workersH406, WailH3213, you vinedressersH3755, For the wheatH2406 and the barleyH8184; BecauseH3588 the 25harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is destroyedH6.12The 26vineH1612 has driedH3001 upH3001 And the figH8384 treeH8384 has witheredH535; The 27pomegranateH7416, the 28palmH8558 alsoH1571, and the 29appleH8598 treeH8598, AllH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 have driedH3001 upH3001. IndeedH3588, 30joyH8342 has driedH3001 upH3001 From the sonsH1121 of mankindH120.

1331PutH2296 onH2296 sackcloth And mournH5594, you priestsH3548; 32WailH3213, you ministersH8334 of the altarH4196! ComeH935, 33spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, You ministersH8334 of my GodH430, For the grain offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offeringH5262 Have been withheldH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.

Starvation and Drought

1434ConsecrateH6942 a fastH6685, ProclaimH7121 a 35solemnH6116 assemblyH6116; GatherH622 the eldersH2205 And allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 To the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, And 36cryH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068.1537WoeH162 for the dayH3117! For the 38dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138, And it will comeH935 as 39destructionH7701 from the 40AlmightyH7706.16Has 41foodH400 not been cutH3772 offH3772 beforeH5048 our eyesH5869, and JoyH8057 and 42rejoicingH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?17The 4344seedsH6507 have driedH5685 up underH8478 their shovelsH4053; The storehousesH214 have becomeH8074 desolateH8074, The grainH4460 silosH4460 are ruinedH2040, BecauseH3588 the grainH1715 has driedH3001 upH3001.18HowH4100 45the animalsH929 have groanedH584! The herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 have wanderedH943 aimlesslyH943 BecauseH3588 thereH369 isH369 noH369 pastureH4829 for them; EvenH1571 the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 have 46sufferedH816.1947To You, LordH3068, I cryH7121 outH7121; For 48fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057, And the flameH3852 has burnedH3857 upH3857 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.20EvenH1571 the animalsH929 of the fieldH7704 4950pantH6165 for You; For the 51streamH650 bedsH650 of waterH4325 are driedH3001 upH3001, And fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
