Joel:1:2-12




nkjv@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you elders, And give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has anything like this happened in your days, Or even in the days of your fathers?

nkjv@Joel:1:3 @ Tell your children about it, Let your children tell their children, And their children another generation.

nkjv@Joel:1:4 @ What the chewing locust left, the swarming locust has eaten; What the swarming locust left, the crawling locust has eaten; And what the crawling locust left, the consuming locust has eaten.

nkjv@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, you drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you drinkers of wine, Because of the new wine, For it has been cut off from your mouth.

nkjv@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation has come up against My land, Strong, and without number; His teeth are the teeth of a lion, And he has the fangs of a fierce lion.

nkjv@Joel:1:7 @ He has laid waste My vine, And ruined My fig tree; He has stripped it bare and thrown it away; Its branches are made white.

nkjv@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth For the husband of her youth.

nkjv@Joel:1:9 @ The grain offering and the drink offering Have been cut off from the house of the LORD; The priests mourn, who minister to the LORD.

nkjv@Joel:1:10 @ The field is wasted, The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine is dried up, The oil fails.

nkjv@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, you farmers, Wail, you vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field has perished.

nkjv@Joel:1:12 @ The vine has dried up, And the fig tree has withered; The pomegranate tree, The palm tree also, And the apple tree-- All the trees of the field are withered; Surely joy has withered away from the sons of men.
