The Locust Plague in Judah
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 1
|
|
1. The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.The Land Laid Waste
|
|
|
|
2. Hear this, you elders,
|
|
And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land!
|
|
Has anything like this happened in your days,
|
|
Or even in the days of your fathers?
|
|
|
|
3. Tell your children about it,
|
|
Let your children tell their children,
|
|
And their children another generation.
|
|
|
|
4. What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten;
|
|
What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten;
|
|
And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.
|
|
|
|
5. Awake, you drunkards, and weep;
|
|
And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
|
|
Because of the new wine,
|
|
For it has been cut off from your mouth.
|
|
|
|
6. For a nation has come up against My land,
|
|
Strong, and without number;
|
|
His teeth are the teeth of a lion,
|
|
And he has the fangs of a fierce lion.
|
|
|
|
7. He has laid waste My vine,
|
|
And ruined My fig tree;
|
|
He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
|
|
Its branches are made white.
|
|
|
|
8. Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth
|
|
For the husband of her youth.
|
|
|
|
9. The grain offering and the drink offering
|
|
Have been cut off from the house of the Lord;
|
|
The priests mourn, who minister to the Lord.
|
|
|
|
10. The field is wasted,
|
|
The land mourns;
|
|
For the grain is ruined,
|
|
The new wine is dried up,
|
|
The oil fails.
|
|
|
|
11. Be ashamed, you farmers,
|
|
Wail, you vinedressers,
|
|
For the wheat and the barley;
|
|
Because the harvest of the field has perished.
|
|
|
|
12. The vine has dried up,
|
|
And the fig tree has withered;
|
|
The pomegranate tree,
|
|
The palm tree also,
|
|
And the apple tree--
|
|
All the trees of the field are withered;
|
|
Surely joy has withered away from the sons of men.Mourning for the Land
|
|
|
|
13. Gird yourselves and lament, you priests;
|
|
Wail, you who minister before the altar;
|
|
Come, lie all night in sackcloth,
|
|
You who minister to my God;
|
|
For the grain offering and the drink offering
|
|
Are withheld from the house of your God.
|
|
|
|
14. Consecrate a fast,
|
|
Call a sacred assembly;
|
|
Gather the elders
|
|
And all the inhabitants of the land
|
|
Into the house of the Lord your God,
|
|
And cry out to the Lord.
|
|
|
|
15. Alas for the day!
|
|
For the day of the Lord is at hand;
|
|
It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
|
|
|
|
16. Is not the food cut off before our eyes,
|
|
Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
|
|
|
|
17. The seed shrivels under the clods,
|
|
Storehouses are in shambles;
|
|
Barns are broken down,
|
|
For the grain has withered.
|
|
|
|
18. How the animals groan!
|
|
The herds of cattle are restless,
|
|
Because they have no pasture;
|
|
Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.
|
|
|
|
19. O Lord, to You I cry out;
|
|
For fire has devoured the open pastures,
|
|
And a flame has burned all the trees of the field.
|
|
|
|
20. The beasts of the field also cry out to You,
|
|
For the water brooks are dried up,
|
|
And fire has devoured the open pastures.
