asv@Joel:1:2 @Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
asv@Joel:1:3 @Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
asv@Joel:1:4 @That which the palmer-worm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the canker-worm eaten; and that which the canker-worm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.
asv@Joel:1:5 @Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and wail, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
asv@Joel:1:6 @For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw-teeth of a lioness.
asv@Joel:1:7 @He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig-tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
asv@Joel:1:8 @Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
asv@Joel:1:9 @The meal-offering and the drink-offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.
asv@Joel:1:10 @The field is laid waste, the land mourneth; for the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
asv@Joel:1:11 @Be confounded, O ye husbandmen, wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field is perished.
asv@Joel:1:12 @The vine is withered, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field are withered: for joy is withered away from the sons of men.
