| - 1:1The Word of Yahweh that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel. And listen, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this ever happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers? and have your children tell their children, and their children, another generation. What the great locust has left, the grasshopper has eaten. What the grasshopper has left, the caterpillar has eaten. Wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs of a lioness. and stripped my fig tree. He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches are made white. The priests, Yahweh’s ministers, mourn. The land mourns, for the grain is destroyed, The new wine has dried up, and the oil languishes. Wail, you vineyard keepers; for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field has perished. the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all of the trees of the field are withered; for joy has withered away from the sons of men. Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God, for the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from your God’s house. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of Yahweh, your God, and cry to Yahweh. For the day of Yahweh is at hand, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty. joy and gladness from the house of our God? The granaries are laid desolate. The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered. The herds of livestock are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field. for the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
