Joel:1:2-12
nasb@Joel:1:2 @Hear this, O elders, And listen, all inhabitants of the land. Has anything like this happened in your days Or in your fathers' days?
nasb@Joel:1:3 @Tell your sons about it, And let your sons tell their sons, And their sons the next generation.
nasb@Joel:1:4 @What the gnawing locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; And what the swarming locust has left, the creeping locust has eaten; And what the creeping locust has left, the stripping locust has eaten.
nasb@Joel:1:5 @Awake, drunkards, and weep; And wail, all you wine drinkers, On account of the sweet wine That is cut off from your mouth.
nasb@Joel:1:6 @For a nation has invaded my land, Mighty and without number; Its teeth are the teeth of a lion, And it has the fangs of a lioness.
nasb@Joel:1:7 @It has made my vine a waste And my fig tree splinters. It has stripped them bare and cast them away; Their branches have become white.
nasb@Joel:1:8 @Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth For the bridegroom of her youth.
nasb@Joel:1:9 @The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off From the house of the LORD. The priests mourn, The ministers of the LORD.
nasb@Joel:1:10 @The field is ruined, The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine dries up, Fresh oil fails.
nasb@Joel:1:11 @Be ashamed, O farmers, Wail, O vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.
nasb@Joel:1:12 @The vine dries up And the fig tree fails; The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree, All the trees of the field dry up. Indeed, rejoicing dries up From the sons of men.
