1The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that cameH1961 to JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of PethuelH6602. 2HearH8085 this, ye oldH2205 menH2205, and giveH238 earH238, allH3605 ye inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. Hath this been in your daysH3117, or in the daysH3117 of your fathersH1? 3TellH5608 ye your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tellH5608 their childrenH1121, and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generationH1755. 4That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locustH697 eatenH398; and that which the locustH697 hath left hath the cankerworm eatenH398; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eatenH398. 5Awake, ye drunkardsH7910, and weepH1058; and howlH3213, allH3605 ye drinkersH8354 of wineH3196, becauseH3588 of the sweetH6071 wineH3196; for it is cutH3772 offH3772 from your mouthH6310. 6For a nationH1471 is comeH5927 upH5927 uponH5921 my landH776, strongH6099, and withoutH369 numberH4557; his teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH738, and he hath the jawH4973 teethH8127 of a greatH6099 lionH738. 7He hath laidH7760 my vineH1612 wasteH8047, and barked my figH8384 treeH8384: he hath madeH7760 it clean bareH2834, and castH7993 it awayH7993; the branchesH8299 thereof are madeH7760 whiteH3835. 8Lament like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of herH5921 youthH5271. 9The mealH4503 offering and the drink offering is cutH3772 offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD’SH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56. 10The fieldH7704 is wasted, the landH127 mourneth; for the corn is wasted, the newH8492 wineH8492 is driedH3001 upH3001, the oilH3323 languisheth. 11Be ashamedH954, O ye husbandmen, howlH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; for the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6. 12The vineH1612 is witheredH3001, and the figH8384 treeH6086 languisheth; the pomegranateH7416 treeH6086, the palmH8558 treeH6086 also, and the appleH8598 treeH6086, evenH1571 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 are witheredH3001: for joyH8342 is witheredH3001 awayH4480 from the sonsH1121 of menH120. 13GirdH2296 yourselves with sackclothH8242, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548; howlH3213, ye ministersH8334 of the altarH4196; comeH935, lie all night in sackclothH8242, ye ministersH8334 of my GodH430: for the mealH4503 offering and the drink offering is withholden from the houseH1004 of your GodH430. 14SanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the oldH2205 menH2205 and allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068. 15AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138, and as destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935, 16Is notH3808 the meat cutH3772 offH3772 beforeH5048 our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430? 17The seedsH6507 rot underH8478 their clodsH4053; the garners are laidH8074 desolateH8074, the barnsH4460 are brokenH2040 downH2040; for the corn is witheredH3001. 18HowH4100 doH4100 the beastsH929 groanH584! the herdsH1241 of cattleH929 are perplexed, becauseH3588 they have noH369 pastureH4829; yeaH3588, the flocksH6629 of sheepH6629 are madeH1571 desolateH816. 19O LORDH3068, to thee doH3605 I cryH7121: for the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057, and the flameH3852 hath burnedH3857 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704. 20YeaH3588, the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 pantH6165 unto thee: for the waterH4325 brooksH650 are driedH3001 upH3001, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
