Joel 1:2-15

21HearH8085 thisH2088, you 2eldersH2205, And listenH238, allH3605 inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. 3Has anything like thisH2088 happenedH1961 in your daysH3117, OrH518 in your fathers’H1 daysH3117?34TellH5608 your sonsH1121 about it, And have your sonsH1121 tell their sonsH1121, And their sonsH1121 the nextH312 generationH1755.

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

815WailH421 like a virginH1330 16clothedH2296 with sackclothH8242 For the groomH1167 of her youthH5271.9The 17grain offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offeringH5262 have been cutH3772 offH3772 From the houseH1004 of the LordH3068. The 18priestsH3548 mournH56, The ministersH8334 of the LordH3068.10The fieldH7704 is 19ruinedH7703, 20The landH127 mournsH56; For the grainH1715 is ruinedH7703, The newH8492 wineH8492 has driedH3001 upH3001, FreshH3323 oilH3323 has 21failedH535.1122BeH954 ashamedH954, you farmH406 workersH406, WailH3213, you vinedressersH3755, For the wheatH2406 and the barleyH8184; BecauseH3588 the 23harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is destroyedH6.12The 24vineH1612 has driedH3001 upH3001 And the figH8384 treeH8384 has witheredH535; The 25pomegranateH7416, the 26palmH8558 alsoH1571, and the 27appleH8598 treeH8598, AllH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 have driedH3001 upH3001. IndeedH3588, 28joyH8342 has driedH3001 upH3001 From the sonsH1121 of mankindH120.

1329PutH2296 onH2296 sackcloth And mournH5594, you priestsH3548; 30WailH3213, you ministersH8334 of the altarH4196! ComeH935, 31spendH3885 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 GodH430.1432ConsecrateH6942 a fastH6685, ProclaimH7121 a 33solemnH6116 assemblyH6116; GatherH622 the eldersH2205 And allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 To the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, And 34cryH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068.1535WoeH162 for the dayH3117! For the 36dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138, And it will comeH935 as 37destructionH7701 from the 38AlmightyH7706.
