came <1961 hayah > to Joel <3100 Yow>el > the son <1121 ben > of

Pethuel <6602 P@thuw>el > .

zaqen > men , and give ear <0238 >azan > , all <3605 kol > ye

inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776 >erets > . Hath

this <2063 zo>th > been <1961 hayah > in your days <3117 yowm > ,

or even <0518 >im > in the days <3117 yowm > of your fathers

<1> ?

and [ let ] your children <1121 ben > [ tell ] their

children <1121 ben > , and their children <1121 ben > another

<0312 >acher > generation <1755 dowr > .

: 4 That which the palmerworm <1501 gazam > hath left <3499

yether > hath the locust <0697 >arbeh > eaten <0398 >akal > ;

and that which the locust <0697 >arbeh > hath left <3499 yether

that which the cankerworm <3218 yekeq > hath left <3499 yether >

hath the caterpiller <2625 chaciyl > eaten <0398 >akal > .

: 5 Awake <6974 quwts > , ye drunkards <7910 shikkowr > , and

weep <1058 bakah > ; and howl <3213 yalal > , all <3605 kol >

ye drinkers <8354 shathah > of wine <3196 yayin > , because

<5921 <al > of the new wine <6071 <aciyc > ; for it is cut

<3772 karath > off from your mouth <6310 peh > .

: 6 For a nation <1471 gowy > is come <5927 <alah > up upon my

land <0776 >erets > , strong <6099 <atsuwm > , and without

<0369 >ayin > number <4557 micpar > , whose teeth <8127 shen >

[ are ] the teeth <8127 shen > of a lion <0738 >ariy > , and

he hath the cheek <4973 m@thall@<ah > teeth <4973 m@thall@<ah >

of a great <3833 labiy> > lion <3833 labiy> > .

: 7 He hath laid <7760 suwm > my vine <1612 gephen > waste

<8047 shammah > , and barked <7111 q@tsaphah > my fig <8384

t@>en > tree : he hath made it clean bare <2834 chasaph > , and

cast <7993 shalak > [ it ] away ; the branches <8299 sariyg >

thereof are made white <3835 laban > .

: 8 . Lament <0421 >alah > like a virgin <1330 b@thuwlah >

girded <2296 chagar > with sackcloth <8242 saq > for the husband

<1167 ba<al > of her youth <5271 na<uwr > .

: 9 The meat offering <4503 minchah > and the drink <5262 necek

> offering is cut <3772 karath > off from the house <1004 bayith

the LORD S <3068 Y@hovah > ministers <8334 sharath > , mourn

<56> .

: 10 The field <7704 sadeh > is wasted <7703 shadad > , the

land <0127 >adamah > mourneth <56> ; for the corn <1715 dagan >

is wasted <7703 shadad > : the new <8492 tiyrowsh > wine <8492

tiyrowsh > is dried <3001 yabesh > up , the oil <3323 yitshar >

languisheth <0535 >amal > .

: 11 Be ye ashamed <0954 buwsh > , O ye husbandmen <0406

>ikkar > ; howl <3213 yalal > , O ye vinedressers <3755 korem

s@<orah > ; because <3588 kiy > the harvest <7105 qatsiyr > of

the field <7704 sadeh > is perished <6> .

: 12 The vine <1612 gephen > is dried <3001 yabesh > up , and

the fig <8384 t@>en > tree languisheth <0535 >amal > ; the

pomegranate <7416 rimmown > tree , the palm <8558 tamar > tree

also <1571 gam > , and the apple <8598 tappuwach > tree , [

even ] all <3605 kol > the trees <6086 <ets > of the field

<7704 sadeh > , are withered <3001 yabesh > : because <3588 kiy

sons <1121 ben > of men <0120 >adam > .

: 13 Gird <2296 chagar > yourselves , and lament <5594 caphad

ministers <8334 sharath > of the altar <4196 mizbeach > : come

<0935 bow> > , lie <3885 luwn > all <3885 luwn > night in

sackcloth <8242 saq > , ye ministers <8334 sharath > of my God

<0430 >elohiym > : for the meat offering <4503 minchah > and the

drink <5262 necek > offering is withholden <4513 mana< > from

the house <1004 bayith > of your God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 14 . Sanctify <6942 qadash > ye a fast <6685 tsowm > , call

<7121 qara> > a solemn <6116 <atsarah > assembly <6116 <atsarah

Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > , and cry <2199 za<aq >

unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

day <3117 yowm > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > [ is ] at <7138

qarowb > hand <7138 qarowb > , and as a destruction <7701 shod

: 16 Is not the meat <0400 >okel > cut <3772 karath > off

before <5048 neged > our eyes <5869 <ayin > , [ yea ] , joy

<8057 simchah > and gladness <1524 giyl > from the house <1004

bayith > of our God <0430 >elohiym > ?

: 17 The seed <6507 p@rudah > is rotten <5685 <abash > under

<8478 tachath > their clods <4053 migraphah > , the garners

<0214 >owtsar > are laid desolate <8074 shamem > , the barns

<4460 mamm@gurah > are broken <2040 harac > down <2040 harac > ;

for the corn <1715 dagan > is withered <3001 yabesh > .

: 18 How <4100 mah > do the beasts <0929 b@hemah > groan <0584

>anach > ! the herds <5739 <eder > of cattle <1241 baqar > are

perplexed <0943 buwk > , because <3588 kiy > they have no <0369

<5739 <eder > of sheep <6629 tso>n > are made desolate <0816

: 19 O LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , to thee will I cry <7121 qara> >

: for the fire <0784 >esh > hath devoured <0398 >akal > the

pastures <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > , and

the flame <3852 lehabah > hath burned <3857 lahat > all <3605

kol > the trees <6086 <ets > of the field <7704 sadeh > .

: 20 The beasts <0929 b@hemah > of the field <7704 sadeh > cry

<6165 <arag > also <1571 gam > unto thee : for the rivers <0650

>aphiyq > of waters <4325 mayim > are dried <3001 yabesh > up ,

and the fire <0784 >esh > hath devoured <0398 >akal > the

pastures <4999 na>ah > of the wilderness <4057 midbar > .

: Joel 2

: 1 . Blow <8628 taqa< > ye the trumpet <7782 showphar > in

Zion <6726 Tsiyown > , and sound <7321 ruwa< > an alarm <7321

ruwa< > in my holy <6944 qodesh > mountain <2022 har > : let all

<3605 kol > the inhabitants <3427 yashab > of the land <0776

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > cometh <0935 bow> > , for [ it is ] nigh

<7126 qarab > at hand ;

: 2 A day <3117 yowm > of darkness <2822 choshek > and of

gloominess <0653 >aphelah > , a day <3117 yowm > of clouds

<6051 <anan > and of thick darkness <6205 <araphel > , as the

morning <7837 shachar > spread <6566 paras > upon the mountains

<2022 har > : a great <7227 rab > people <5971 <am > and a

strong <6099 <atsuwm > ; there hath not been <1961 hayah > ever

<5769 <owlam > the like <3644 k@mow > , neither <3808 lo> >

: 3 A fire <0784 >esh > devoureth <0398 >akal > before <6440

paniym > them ; and behind <0310 >achar > them a flame <3852

lehabah > burneth <3857 lahat > : the land <0776 >erets > [ is

paniym > them , and behind <0310 >achar > them a desolate <8077

sh@mamah > wilderness <4057 midbar > ; yea <1571 gam > , and

nothing <3808 lo> > shall escape <6413 p@leytah > them .

: 4 The appearance <4758 mar>eh > of them [ is ] as the

appearance <4758 mar>eh > of horses <5483 cuwc > ; and as

horsemen <6571 parash > , so <3651 ken > shall they run <7323

ruwts > .

shall they leap <7540 raqad > , like the noise <6963 qowl > of

a flame <3851 lahab > of fire <0784 >esh > that devoureth <0398

people <5971 <am > set in battle <4421 milchamah > array <6186

: 6 Before their face <6440 paniym > the people <5971 <am >

shall be much pained <2342 chuwl > : all <3605 kol > faces <6440

paniym > shall gather <6908 qabats > blackness <6289 pa>ruwr > .

: 7 They shall run <7323 ruwts > like mighty <1368 gibbowr >

men ; they shall climb <5927 <alah > the wall <2346 chowmah >

like men <0582 >enowsh > of war <4421 milchamah > ; and they

shall march <3212 yalak > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh >

: 9 They shall run <8264 shaqaq > to and fro <8264 shaqaq > in

the city <5892 <iyr > ; they shall run <7323 ruwts > upon the

wall <2346 chowmah > , they shall climb <5927 <alah > up upon

the houses <1004 bayith > ; they shall enter <0935 bow> > in at

<1157 b@<ad > the windows <2474 challown > like a thief <1590

gannab > .

: 10 The earth <0776 >erets > shall quake <7264 ragaz > before

<6440 paniym > them ; the heavens <8064 shamayim > shall

tremble <7493 ra<ash > : the sun <8121 shemesh > and the moon

his voice <6963 qowl > before <6440 paniym > his army <2428

your garments <0899 beged > , and turn <7725 shuwb > unto the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God <0430 >elohiym > : for he [ is ]

gracious <2587 channuwn > and merciful <7349 rachuwm > , slow

kindness <2617 checed > , and repenteth <5162 nacham > him of

return <7725 shuwb > and repent <5162 nacham > , and leave

<7604 sha>ar > a blessing <1293 B@rakah > behind <0310 >achar >

him ; [ even ] a meat offering <4503 minchah > and a drink

<5262 necek > offering unto the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > your God

qabats > the elders <2205 zaqen > , gather <0622 >acaph > the

children <5768 <owlel > , and those that suck <3243 yanaq > the

and give <5414 nathan > not thine heritage <5159 nachalah > to

reproach <2781 cherpah > , that the heathen <1471 gowy > should

rule <4910 mashal > over them : wherefore <4100 mah > should

I will no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > make <5414 nathan > you

a reproach <2781 cherpah > among the heathen <1471 gowy > :

great <1431 gadal > things .

glad <1523 giyl > and rejoice <8055 samach > : for the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > will do <6213 <asah > great <1431 gadal > things
