| 1:1 | The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came to Joel <03100> the son <01121> of Pethuel <06602>. |
| 1:2 | Hear <08085> (8798) this, ye old men <02205>, and give ear <0238> (8685), all ye inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776>. Hath this been in your days <03117>, or even <0518> in the days <03117> of your fathers <01>? |
| 1:3 | Tell <05608> (8761) ye your children <01121> of it, and [let] your children <01121> [tell] their children <01121>, and their children <01121> another <0312> generation <01755>. |
| 1:4 | That which the palmerworm <01501> hath left <03499> hath the locust <0697> eaten <0398> (8804); and that which the locust <0697> hath left <03499> hath the cankerworm <03218> eaten <0398> (8804); and that which the cankerworm <03218> hath left <03499> hath the caterpiller <02625> eaten <0398> (8804). {That which the palmerworm...: Heb. The residue of the palmerworm} |
| 1:5 | Awake <06974> (8685), ye drunkards <07910>, and weep <01058> (8798); and howl <03213> (8685), all ye drinkers <08354> (8802) of wine <03196>, because of the new wine <06071>; for it is cut off <03772> (8738) from your mouth <06310>. |
| 1:6 | For a nation <01471> is come up <05927> (8804) upon my land <0776>, strong <06099>, and without number <04557>, whose teeth <08127> [are] the teeth <08127> of a lion <0738>, and he hath the cheek teeth <04973> of a great lion <03833>. |
| 1:7 | He hath laid <07760> (8804) my vine <01612> waste <08047>, and barked <07111> my fig tree <08384>: he hath made it clean <02834> (8800) bare <02834> (8804), and cast [it] away <07993> (8689); the branches <08299> thereof are made white <03835> (8689). {barked...: Heb. laid my fig tree for a barking} |
| 1:8 | Lament <0421> (8798) like a virgin <01330> girded <02296> (8803) with sackcloth <08242> for the husband <01167> of her youth <05271>. |
| 1:9 | The meat offering <04503> and the drink offering <05262> is cut off <03772> (8717) from the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; the priests <03548>, the LORD'S <03068> ministers <08334> (8764), mourn <056> (8804). |
| 1:10 | The field <07704> is wasted <07703> (8795), the land <0127> mourneth <056> (8804); for the corn <01715> is wasted <07703> (8795): the new wine <08492> is dried up <03001> (8689), the oil <03323> languisheth <0535> (8797). |
| 1:11 | Be ye ashamed <03001> (8685), O ye husbandmen <0406>; howl <03213> (8685), O ye vinedressers <03755>, for the wheat <02406> and for the barley <08184>; because the harvest <07105> of the field <07704> is perished <06> (8804). |
| 1:12 | The vine <01612> is dried up <03001> (8689), and the fig tree <08384> languisheth <0535> (8797); the pomegranate <07416> tree, the palm tree <08558> also, and the apple tree <08598>, [even] all the trees <06086> of the field <07704>, are withered <03001> (8804): because joy <08342> is withered away <03001> (8689) from the sons <01121> of men <0120>. |
| 1:13 | Gird <02296> (8798) yourselves, and lament <05594> (8798), ye priests <03548>: howl <03213> (8685), ye ministers <08334> (8764) of the altar <04196>: come <0935> (8798), lie all night <03885> (8798) in sackcloth <08242>, ye ministers <08334> (8764) of my God <0430>: for the meat offering <04503> and the drink offering <05262> is withholden <04513> (8738) from the house <01004> of your God <0430>. |
| 1:14 | Sanctify <06942> (8761) ye a fast <06685>, call <07121> (8798) a solemn assembly <06116>, gather <0622> (8798) the elders <02205> [and] all the inhabitants <03427> (8802) of the land <0776> [into] the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> your God <0430>, and cry <02199> (8798) unto the LORD <03068>, {solemn...: or, day of restraint} |
| 1:15 | Alas <0162> for the day <03117>! for the day <03117> of the LORD <03068> [is] at hand <07138>, and as a destruction <07701> from the Almighty <07706> shall it come <0935> (8799). |
| 1:16 | Is not the meat <0400> cut off <03772> (8738) before our eyes <05869>, [yea], joy <08057> and gladness <01524> from the house <01004> of our God <0430>? |
| 1:17 | The seed <06507> is rotten <05685> (8804) under their clods <04053>, the garners <0214> are laid desolate <08074> (8738), the barns <04460> are broken down <02040> (8738); for the corn <01715> is withered <03001> (8689). {seed: Heb. grains} |
| 1:18 | How do the beasts <0929> groan <0584> (8737)! the herds <05739> of cattle <01241> are perplexed <0943> (8738), because they have no pasture <04829>; yea, the flocks <05739> of sheep <06629> are made desolate <0816> (8738). |
| 1:19 | O LORD <03068>, to thee will I cry <07121> (8799): for the fire <0784> hath devoured <0398> (8804) the pastures <04999> of the wilderness <04057>, and the flame <03852> hath burned <03857> (8765) all the trees <06086> of the field <07704>. {pastures: or, habitations} |
| 1:20 | The beasts <0929> of the field <07704> cry <06165> (8799) also unto thee: for the rivers <0650> of waters <04325> are dried up <03001> (8804), and the fire <0784> hath devoured <0398> (8804) the pastures <04999> of the wilderness <04057>. |
