# Joel 1 (New King James Version)
|
|
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.
