Joel 1 (kjv)

The word^H1697 of the LORD^H3068 that came to Joel^H3100 the son^H1121 of Pethuel^H6602.²Hear^H8085 this, ye old men^H2205, and give ear^H238, all ye inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776. Hath this been in your days^H3117, or even^H518 in the days^H3117 of your fathers^H1?³Tell^H5608 ye your children^H1121 of it, and let your children^H1121 tell their children^H1121, and their children^H1121 another^H312 generation^H1755.⁴That which the palmerworm^H1501 hath left^H3499 hath the locust^H697 eaten^H398; and that which the locust^H697 hath left^H3499 hath the cankerworm^H3218 eaten^H398; and that which the cankerworm^H3218 hath left^H3499 hath the caterpiller^H2625 eaten^H398.⁵Awake^H6974, ye drunkards^H7910, and weep^H1058; and howl^H3213, all ye drinkers^H8354 of wine^H3196, because of the new wine^H6071; for it is cut off^H3772 from your mouth^H6310.⁶For a nation^H1471 is come up^H5927 upon my land^H776, strong^H6099, and without number^H4557, whose teeth^H8127 are the teeth^H8127 of a lion^H738, and he hath the cheek teeth^H4973 of a great lion^H3833.⁷He hath laid^H7760 my vine^H1612 waste^H8047, and barked^H7111 my fig tree^H8384: he hath made it clean^H2834 bare^H2834, and cast it away^H7993; the branches^H8299 thereof are made white^H3835.

⁸Lament^H421 like a virgin^H1330 girded^H2296 with sackcloth^H8242 for the husband^H1167 of her youth^H5271.⁹The meat offering^H4503 and the drink offering^H5262 is cut off^H3772 from the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068; the priests^H3548, the LORD'S^H3068 ministers^H8334, mourn^H56.¹⁰The field^H7704 is wasted^H7703, the land^H127 mourneth^H56; for the corn^H1715 is wasted^H7703: the new wine^H8492 is dried up^H3001, the oil^H3323 languisheth^H535.¹¹Be ye ashamed^H3001, O ye husbandmen^H406; howl^H3213, O ye vinedressers^H3755, for the wheat^H2406 and for the barley^H8184; because the harvest^H7105 of the field^H7704 is perished^H6.¹²The vine^H1612 is dried up^H3001, and the fig tree^H8384 languisheth^H535; the pomegranate^H7416 tree, the palm tree^H8558 also, and the apple tree^H8598, even all the trees^H6086 of the field^H7704, are withered^H3001: because joy^H8342 is withered away^H3001 from the sons^H1121 of men^H120.¹³Gird^H2296 yourselves, and lament^H5594, ye priests^H3548: howl^H3213, ye ministers^H8334 of the altar^H4196: come^H935, lie all night^H3885 in sackcloth^H8242, ye ministers^H8334 of my God^H430: for the meat offering^H4503 and the drink offering^H5262 is withholden^H4513 from the house^H1004 of your God^H430.

¹⁴Sanctify^H6942 ye a fast^H6685, call^H7121 a solemn assembly^H6116, gather^H622 the elders^H2205 and all the inhabitants^H3427 of the land^H776 into the house^H1004 of the LORD^H3068 your God^H430, and cry^H2199 unto the LORD^H3068,¹⁵Alas^H162 for the day^H3117! for the day^H3117 of the LORD^H3068 is at hand^H7138, and as a destruction^H7701 from the Almighty^H7706 shall it come^H935.¹⁶Is not the meat^H400 cut off^H3772 before our eyes^H5869, yea, joy^H8057 and gladness^H1524 from the house^H1004 of our God^H430?¹⁷The seed^H6507 is rotten^H5685 under their clods^H4053, the garners^H214 are laid desolate^H8074, the barns^H4460 are broken down^H2040; for the corn^H1715 is withered^H3001.¹⁸How do the beasts^H929 groan^H584 ! the herds^H5739 of cattle^H1241 are perplexed^H943, because they have no pasture^H4829; yea, the flocks^H5739 of sheep^H6629 are made desolate^H816.¹⁹O LORD^H3068, to thee will I cry^H7121: for the fire^H784 hath devoured^H398 the pastures^H4999 of the wilderness^H4057, and the flame^H3852 hath burned^H3857 all the trees^H6086 of the field^H7704.²⁰The beasts^H929 of the field^H7704 cry^H6165 also unto thee: for the rivers^H650 of waters^H4325 are dried up^H3001, and the fire^H784 hath devoured^H398 the pastures^H4999 of the wilderness^H4057.
