JOE-1:1 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of
Pethuel.
JOE-1:2 Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants
of the land.
Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
JOE-1:3 Tell ye your children of it, and [let] your children
[tell] their
children, and their children another generation.
JOE-1:4 That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust
eaten; and that
which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that
which the
cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.
JOE-1:5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye
drinkers of wine,
because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
JOE-1:6 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and
without number,
whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek
teeth of a great
lion.
JOE-1:7 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he
hath made it
clean bare, and cast [it] away; the branches thereof are made
white.
JOE-1:8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the
husband of her
youth.
JOE-1:9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off
from the house of
the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
JOE-1:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn
is wasted: the
new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
JOE-1:11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye
vinedressers, for the
wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is
perished.
JOE-1:12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth;
the pomegranate
tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, [even] all the
trees of the
field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons
of men.
JOE-1:13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye
ministers of the
altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God:
for the meat
offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of
your God.
JOE-1:14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the
elders [and]
all the inhabitants of the land [into] the house of the LORD
your God, and cry
unto the LORD.
JOE-1:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [is] at hand,
and as a
destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
JOE-1:16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy
and gladness
from the house of our God?
JOE-1:17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are
laid desolate,
the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
JOE-1:18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are
perplexed, because
they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
JOE-1:19 O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured
the pastures
of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of
the field.
JOE-1:20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the
rivers of waters
are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the
wilderness.
JOE-2:1 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my
holy mountain:
let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the
LORD cometh,
for [it is] nigh at hand;
JOE-2:2 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds
and of thick
darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains: a great
people and a
strong; there hath not been ever the like, neither shall be any
more after it,
[even] to the years of many generations.
JOE-2:3 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame
burneth: the
land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them a
desolate
wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape them.
JOE-2:4 The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of horses;
and as
horsemen, so shall they run.
JOE-2:5 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains
shall they leap,
like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stubble, as
a strong
people set in battle array.
JOE-2:6 Before their face the people shall be much pained: all
faces shall
gather blackness.
JOE-2:7 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the
wall like men of
war; and they shall march every one on his ways, and they shall
not break
their ranks:
JOE-2:8 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk every
one in his
path: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they shall not be
wounded.
JOE-2:9 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run
upon the wall,
they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall enter in at the
windows like a
thief.
JOE-2:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall
tremble: the
sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall withdraw
their shining:
JOE-2:11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army:
for his camp
