lesserot@Joel:1:1 @ The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

lesserot@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Did ever such a thing as this come to pass in your days, or ever in the days of your fathers?

lesserot@Joel:1:3 @ Tell ye of it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to another generation.

lesserot@Joel:1:4 @ What the caterpillar left hath the locust eaten; and what the locust left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm left hath the cricket eaten.

lesserot@Joel:1:5 @ Wake up, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet new wine, that it is taken away from your mouth.

lesserot@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation is come up over my land, strong, and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it hath the cuttingteeth of the lioness.

lesserot@Joel:1:7 @ It hath laid my vine waste, and barked my figtree: it hath peeled it clean bare, and cast it down; made white are its light branches.

lesserot@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the betrothed of her youth.

lesserot@Joel:1:9 @ Cut off are the meatoffering and the drinkoffering from the house of the Lord: now mourn the priests, the ministers of the Lord.

lesserot@Joel:1:10 @ Wasted is the field, the land mourneth; for wasted is the corn: dried up is the new wine, withered is the oil.

lesserot@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen; wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because lost is the harvest of the field.

lesserot@Joel:1:12 @ The vine is made ashamed, and the figtree is withered; the pomegranatetree, the palmtree also, and the appletree, even all the trees of the field, are dried up; because joy hath ceased from the children of men.

lesserot@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests; wail, ye ministers of the altar: come, remain all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God; for there are withholden from the house of your God the meatoffering and the drinkoffering.

lesserot@Joel:1:14 @ Sanctify ye a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, gather the elders, all the inhabitants of the land, into the house of the Lord your God, and cry aloud unto the Lord.

lesserot@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and like destruction from the Almighty will it come.

lesserot@Joel:1:16 @ Is not before our eyes the food cut off, from the house of our God joy and gladness?

lesserot@Joel:1:17 @ The grains of seed are rotten under their clods, laid desolate are the garners, pulled down are the barns; for the corn is dried up.

lesserot@Joel:1:18 @ How do the beasts groan! how do the herds of cattle roam about; because there is no pasture for them: yea, the flocks of sheep are made to perish.

lesserot@Joel:1:19 @ To thee O Lord, will I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath singed all the trees of the field.

lesserot@Joel:1:20 @ Also the beasts of the field cry unto thee panting; for the brooks of waters are dried up, and a fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
