jps@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 caterpiller eaten.
jps@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.
jps@Joel:1:6 @ For a people is come up upon my land, mighty, and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the jaw- teeth of a lioness.
jps@Joel:1:7 @ He hath laid my vine waste, and blasted my fig-tree; he hath made it clean bare, and cast it down, the branches thereof are made white.
jps@Joel:1:8 @ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
jps@Joel:1:9 @ The meal-offering and the drink-offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests mourn, even the LORD'S ministers.
jps@Joel:1:10 @ The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
jps@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, O ye husbandmen, wail, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
jps@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.
