Joel 1

1. The word <01697> of the LORD <03068> that came <01961> to
Joel <03100> the son <01121> of Pethuel <06602>.

2 Hear <08085> this <02063>, ye old <02205> men, and give ear
<0238>, all <03605> ye inhabitants <03427> of the land <0776>.
Hath this <02063> been <01961> in your days < 03117>, or even
<0518> in the days <03117> of your fathers <01>?

3 Tell <05608> ye your children <01121> of it, and [let] your
children <01121> [tell] their children <01121>, and their
children <01121> another <0312> generation < 01755>.

4 That which the palmerworm <01501> hath left <03499> hath the
locust <0697> eaten <0398>; and that which the locust <0697>
hath left <03499> hath the cankerworm <03218> eaten <0398>; and
that which the cankerworm <03218> hath left <03499> hath the
caterpiller <02625> eaten <0398>.

5 Awake <06974>, ye drunkards <07910>, and weep < 01058>; and
howl <03213>, all <03605> ye drinkers <08354> of wine <03196>,
because <05921> of the new wine <06071>; for it is cut <03772>
off from your mouth <06310>.

6 For a nation <01471> is come <05927> up upon my land <0776>,
strong <06099>, and without <0369> number < 04557>, whose teeth
<08127> [are] the teeth <08127> of a lion <0738> , and he hath
the cheek <04973> teeth <04973> of a great < 03833> lion <03833>.

7 He hath laid <07760> my vine <01612> waste < 08047>, and
barked <07111> my fig <08384> tree: he hath made it clean bare
<02834>, and cast <07993> [it] away; the branches < 08299>
thereof are made white <03835>.

8. Lament <0421> like a virgin <01330> girded < 02296> with
sackcloth <08242> for the husband <01167> of her youth <05271>.

9 The meat offering <04503> and the drink <05262> offering is
cut <03772> off from the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>; the
priests <03548>, the LORD'S <03068> ministers < 08334>, mourn
<056>.

10 The field <07704> is wasted <07703>, the land < 0127>
mourneth <056>; for the corn <01715> is wasted < 07703>: the new
<08492> wine <08492> is dried <03001> up, the oil <03323>
languisheth <0535>.

11 Be ye ashamed <0954>, O ye husbandmen <0406>; howl <03213>,
O ye vinedressers <03755>, for the wheat <02406> and for the
barley <08184>; because <03588> the harvest < 07105> of the field
<07704> is perished <06>.

12 The vine <01612> is dried <03001> up, and the fig <08384>
tree languisheth <0535>; the pomegranate <07416> tree, the palm
<08558> tree also <01571>, and the apple <08598> tree, [even]
all <03605> the trees <06086> of the field < 07704>, are withered
<03001>: because <03588> joy <08342> is withered <03001> away
from the sons <01121> of men <0120>.

13 Gird <02296> yourselves, and lament <05594>, ye priests
<03548>: howl <03213>, ye ministers <08334> of the altar <04196>:
come <0935>, lie <03885> all <03885> night in sackcloth <08242>,
ye ministers <08334> of my God <0430>: for the meat offering
<04503> and the drink <05262> offering is withholden <04513>
from the house <01004> of your God <0430>.

14. Sanctify <06942> ye a fast <06685>, call < 07121> a solemn
<06116> assembly <06116>, gather <0622> the elders <02205> [and]
all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the land < 0776> [into]
the house <01004> of the LORD <03068> your God < 0430>, and cry
<02199> unto the LORD <03068>,

15 Alas <0160> for the day <03117>! for the day < 03117> of the
LORD <03068> [is] at <07138> hand <07138>, and as a destruction
<07701> from the Almighty <07706> shall it come < 0935>.

16 Is not the meat <0400> cut <03772> off before < 05048> our
eyes <05869>, [yea], joy <08057> and gladness < 01524> from the
house <01004> of our God <0430>?

17 The seed <06507> is rotten <05685> under < 08478> their clods
<04053>, the garners <0214> are laid desolate < 08074>, the barns
<04460> are broken <02040> down <02040>; for the corn <01715> is
withered <03001>.

18 How <04100> do the beasts <0929> groan < 0584>! the herds
<05739> of cattle <01241> are perplexed <0943>, because <03588>
they have no <0369> pasture <04829>; yea <01571> , the flocks
<05739> of sheep <06629> are made desolate < 0816>.

19 O LORD <03068>, to thee will I cry <07121>: for the fire
<0784> hath devoured <0398> the pastures <04999> of the
wilderness <04057>, and the flame <03852> hath burned <03857>
all <03605> the trees <06086> of the field < 07704>.

20 The beasts <0929> of the field <07704> cry < 06165> also
<01571> unto thee: for the rivers <0650> of waters <04325> are
dried <03001> up, and the fire <0784> hath devoured <0398> the
pastures <04999> of the wilderness <04057>.

Joel 2

1. Blow <08628> ye the trumpet <07782> in Zion < 06726>, and
sound <07321> an alarm <07321> in my holy < 06944> mountain
<02022>: let all <03605> the inhabitants <03427> of the land
<0776> tremble <07264>: for the day <03117> of the LORD <03068>
cometh <0935>, for [it is] nigh <07126> at hand;

2 A day <03117> of darkness <02822> and of gloominess <0653>, a
day <03117> of clouds <06051> and of thick darkness <06205>, as
the morning <07837> spread <06566> upon the mountains <02022>: a
great <07227> people <05971> and a strong < 06099>; there hath
not been <01961> ever <05769> the like <03644>, neither <03808>
shall be any more <03254> after <0310> it, [even] to the years
<08141> of many generations <01755>.

3 A fire <0784> devoureth <0398> before <06440> them; and
behind <0310> them a flame <03852> burneth < 03857>: the land
<0776> [is] as the garden <01588> of Eden < 05731> before <06440>
them, and behind <0310> them a desolate <08077> wilderness
<04057>; yea <01571>, and nothing <03808> shall escape <06413>
them.

4 The appearance <04758> of them [is] as the appearance <04758>
of horses <05483>; and as horsemen <06571>, so < 03651> shall
they run <07323>.

5 Like the noise <06963> of chariots <04818> on < 05921> the
tops <07218> of mountains <02022> shall they leap < 07540>, like
the noise <06963> of a flame <03851> of fire < 0784> that
devoureth <0398> the stubble <07179>, as a strong < 06099> people
<05971> set in battle <04421> array <06186>.

6 Before their face <06440> the people <05971> shall be much
pained <02342>: all <03605> faces <06440> shall gather <06908>
blackness <06289>.

7 They shall run <07323> like mighty <01368> men; they shall
climb <05927> the wall <02346> like men <0582> of war <04421>;
and they shall march <03212> every <0376> one < 0376> on his ways
<01870>, and they shall not break <05670> their ranks <0734>:

8 Neither <03808> shall one <0376> thrust < 01766> another
<0250>; they shall walk <03212> every <01397> one <01397> in his
path <04546>: and [when] they fall <05307> upon the sword
<07973>, they shall not be wounded <01214>.

9 They shall run <08264> to and fro <08264> in the city <05892>;
they shall run <07323> upon the wall <02346>, they shall climb
<05927> up upon the houses <01004>; they shall enter <0935> in
at <01157> the windows <02474> like a thief < 01590>.

10 The earth <0776> shall quake <07264> before < 06440> them;
the heavens <08064> shall tremble <07493>: the sun <08121> and
the moon <03394> shall be dark <06937>, and the stars <03556>
shall withdraw <0622> their shining <05051>:

11 And the LORD <03068> shall utter <05414> his voice <06963>
before <06440> his army <02428>: for his camp < 04264> [is] very
<03966> great <07227>: for [he is] strong < 06099> that executeth
<06213> his word <01697>: for the day <03117> of the LORD
<03068> [is] great <01419> and very <03966> terrible <03372>;
and who <04310> can abide <03557> it?

12. Therefore <01571> also <01571> now <06258>, saith <05002>
the LORD <03068>, turn <07725> ye [even] to me with all <03605>
your heart <03824>, and with fasting <06685>, and with weeping
<01065>, and with mourning <04553>:

13 And rend <07167> your heart <03824>, and not your garments
<0899>, and turn <07725> unto the LORD <03068> your God <0430>:
for he [is] gracious <02587> and merciful <07349>, slow <0750>
to anger <0639>, and of great <07227> kindness < 02617>, and
repenteth <05162> him of the evil <07451>.

14 Who <04310> knoweth <03045> [if] he will return <07725> and
repent <05162>, and leave <07604> a blessing < 01293> behind
<0310> him; [even] a meat offering <04503> and a drink <05262>
offering unto the LORD <03068> your God <0430>?

15 Blow <08628> the trumpet <07782> in Zion < 06726>, sanctify
<06942> a fast <06685>, call <07121> a solemn <06116> assembly
<06116>:

16 Gather <0622> the people <05971>, sanctify < 06942> the
congregation <06951>, assemble <06908> the elders < 02205>,
gather <0622> the children <05768>, and those that suck <03243>
the breasts <07699>: let the bridegroom <02860> go <03318> forth
<03318> of his chamber <02315>, and the bride < 03618> out of her
closet <02646>.

17 Let the priests <03548>, the ministers <08334> of the LORD
<03068>, weep <01058> between <0996> the porch <0197> and the
altar <04196>, and let them say <0559>, Spare < 02347> thy people
<05971>, O LORD <03068>, and give <05414> not thine heritage
<05159> to reproach <02781>, that the heathen < 01471> should
rule <04910> over them: wherefore <04100> should they say <0559>
among the people <05971>, Where <0346> [is] their God <0430>?

18. Then will the LORD <03068> be jealous <07065> for his land
<0776>, and pity <02550> his people <05971>.

19 Yea, the LORD <03068> will answer <06030> and say <0559>
unto his people <05971>, Behold <02005>, I will send <07971> you
corn <01715>, and wine <08492>, and oil <03323>, and ye shall be
satisfied <07646> therewith <0854>: and I will no < 03808> more
<05750> make <05414> you a reproach <02781> among the heathen
<01471>:

20 But I will remove <07368> far <07368> off from you the
northern <06830> [army], and will drive <05080> him into <0413>
a land <0776> barren <06723> and desolate < 08077>, with his face
<06440> toward <0413> the east <06931> sea < 03220>, and his
hinder <05490> part toward <0413> the utmost < 0314> sea <03220>,
and his stink <0889> shall come <05927> up, and his ill <06709>
savour <06709> shall come <05927> up, because < 03588> he hath
done <06213> great <01431> things.

21 Fear <03372> not, O land <0127>; be glad < 01523> and rejoice
<08055>: for the LORD <03068> will do <06213> great <01431>
things.

22 Be not afraid <03372>, ye beasts <0929> of the field <07704>:
for the pastures <04999> of the wilderness <04057> do spring
<01876>, for the tree <06086> beareth <05375> her fruit <06529>,
the fig <08384> tree and the vine <01612> do < 06213> yield
<05414> their strength <02428>.

23 Be glad <01523> then, ye children <01121> of Zion <06726>,
and rejoice <08055> in the LORD <03068> your God < 0430>: for he
hath given <05414> you the former <04175> rain < 04175>
moderately <06666>, and he will cause to come <03381> down
<03381> for you the rain <01653>, the former < 04175> rain
<04175>, and the latter <04456> rain <04456> in the first
<07223> [month].

24 And the floors <01637> shall be full <04390> of wheat
<01250>, and the fats shall overflow <07783> with wine <08492>
and oil <03323>.

25 And I will restore <07999> to you the years < 08141> that the
locust <0697> hath eaten <0398>, the cankerworm < 03218>, and the
caterpiller <02625>, and the palmerworm <01501>, my great
<01419> army <02428> which <0834> I sent < 07971> among you.

26 And ye shall eat <0398> in plenty <0398>, and be satisfied
<07646>, and praise <01984> the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>
your God <0430>, that hath dealt <06213> wondrously <06381> with
you: and my people <05971> shall never be ashamed < 0954>.

27 And ye shall know <03045> that I [am] in the midst < 07130>
of Israel <03478>, and [that] I [am] the LORD <03068> your God
<0430>, and none <0369> else <05750>: and my people <05971>
shall never be ashamed <0954>.

28. And it shall come <01961> to pass afterward, [that] I will
pour <08210> out my spirit <07307> upon all < 03605> flesh
<01320>; and your sons <01121> and your daughters < 01121> shall
prophesy <05012>, your old <02205> men shall dream <02492>
dreams <02472>, your young <0970> men shall see < 07200> visions
<02384>:

29 And also <01571> upon the servants <05650> and upon the
handmaids <08198> in those <01992> days <03117> will I pour
<08210> out my spirit <07307>.

30 And I will shew <05414> wonders <04159> in the heavens
<08064> and in the earth <0776>, blood <01818>, and fire <0784>,
and pillars <08490> of smoke <06227>.

31 The sun <08121> shall be turned <02015> into darkness
<02822>, and the moon <03394> into blood <01818> , before <06440>
the great <01419> and the terrible <03372> day < 03117> of the
LORD <03068> come <0635>.

32 And it shall come <01961> to pass, [that] whosoever < 0834>
shall call <07121> on the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> shall
be delivered <04422>: for in mount <02022> Zion < 06726> and in
Jerusalem <03389> shall be deliverance <06413>, as the LORD
<03068> hath said <0559>, and in the remnant < 08600> whom <0834>
the LORD <03068> shall call <07121>.

Joel 3

1. For, behold <02009>, in those <01992> days < 03117>, and in
that time <06256>, when <0834> I shall bring < 07725> again
<07725> the captivity <07622> of Judah <03063> and Jerusalem
<03389>,

2 I will also gather <06908> all <03605> nations < 01471>, and
will bring <03381> them down <03381> into <0413> the valley
<06010> of Jehoshaphat <03092>, and will plead < 08199> with them
there <08033> for my people <05971> and [for] my heritage
<05159> Israel <03478>, whom <0834> they have scattered <06327>
among the nations <01471>, and parted <02505> my land <0776>.

3 And they have cast <03032> lots <01486> for my people <05971>;
and have given <05414> a boy <03206> for an harlot <02181>, and
sold <04376> a girl <03207> for wine <03196>, that they might
drink <08354>.

4 Yea <01571>, and what <04100> have ye to do with me, O Tyre
<06865>, and Zidon <06721>, and all <03605> the coasts <01552>
of Palestine <06429>? will ye render <07999> me a recompence
<01576>? and if <0518> ye recompense <01580> me, swiftly <07031>
[and] speedily <04120> will I return <07725> your recompence
<01576> upon your own head <07218>;

5 Because <0834> ye have taken <03947> my silver < 03701> and my
gold <02091>, and have carried <0935> into your temples <01964>
my goodly <02896> pleasant <04261> things:

6 The children <01121> also of Judah <03063> and the children
<01121> of Jerusalem <03389> have ye sold < 04376> unto the
Grecians <03125>, that ye might remove <07368> them far <07368>
from their border <01366>.

7 Behold <02005>, I will raise <05782> them out of the place
<04725> whither ye have sold <04376> them, and will return
<07725> your recompence <01576> upon your own head <07218>:

8 And I will sell <04376> your sons <01121> and your daughters
<01121> into the hand <03027> of the children < 01121> of Judah
<03063>, and they shall sell <04376> them to the Sabeans <07615>,
to a people <01471> far <07350> off: for the LORD <03068> hath
spoken <01696> [it].

9. Proclaim <07121> ye this <02063> among the Gentiles <01471>;
Prepare <06942> war <04421>, wake <05782> up the mighty <01368>
men <0582>, let all <03605> the men <0582> of war <04421> draw
near <05066>; let them come <05927> up:

10 Beat <03807> your plowshares <0855> into swords <02719>, and
your pruninghooks <04211> into spears <07420>: let the weak
<02523> say <0559>, I [am] strong <01368>.

11 Assemble <05789> yourselves, and come <0935>, all <03605> ye
heathen <01471>, and gather <06908> yourselves together round
<05439> about: thither cause thy mighty <01368> ones to come
<05181> down <05181>, O LORD <03068>.

12 Let the heathen <01471> be wakened <05782>, and come <05927>
up to the valley <06010> of Jehoshaphat <03092>: for there
<08033> will I sit <03427> to judge <08199> all <03605> the
heathen <01471> round <05439> about.

13 Put <07971> ye in the sickle <04038>, for the harvest
<07105> is ripe <01310>: come <0935>, get < 03381> you down
<03381>; for the press <01660> is full <04390>, the fats <03342>
overflow <07783>; for their wickedness <07451> [is] great
<07227>.

14 Multitudes <01995>, multitudes <01995> in the valley <06010>
of decision <02742>: for the day <03117> of the LORD <03068>
[is] near <07138> in the valley <06010> of decision <02742>.

15 The sun <08121> and the moon <03394> shall be darkened
<06937>, and the stars <03556> shall withdraw < 0622> their
shining <05051>.

16 The LORD <03068> also shall roar <07580> out of Zion <06726>,
and utter <05414> his voice <06963> from Jerusalem <03389>; and
the heavens <08064> and the earth <0776> shall shake <07493>:
but the LORD <03068> [will be] the hope <04268> of his people
<05971>, and the strength <04581> of the children < 01121> of
Israel <03478>.

17 So shall ye know <03045> that I [am] the LORD < 03068> your
God <0430> dwelling <07931> in Zion <06726>, my holy <06944>
mountain <02022>: then shall Jerusalem <03389> be holy <06944>,
and there shall no <03808> strangers <02114> pass < 05674>
through her any more <05750>.

18. And it shall come <01961> to pass in that day < 03117>,
[that] the mountains <02022> shall drop <05197> down new wine
<06071>, and the hills <01389> shall flow < 03212> with milk
<02461>, and all <03605> the rivers <0650> of Judah <03063>
shall flow <03212> with waters <04325>, and a fountain <04599>
shall come <03318> forth <03318> of the house < 01004> of the
LORD <03068>, and shall water <08248> the valley < 05158> of
Shittim <07851>.

19 Egypt <04714> shall be a desolation <08077>, and Edom <0123>
shall be a desolate <08077> wilderness <04057>, for the violence
<02555> [against] the children <01121> of Judah < 03063>, because
<0834> they have shed <08210> innocent <05355> blood <01818> in
their land <0776>.

20 But Judah <03063> shall dwell <03427> for ever <05769>, and
Jerusalem <03389> from generation <01755> to generation <01755>.

21 For I will cleanse <05352> their blood <01818> [that] I have
not cleansed <05352>: for the LORD <03068> dwelleth <07931> in
Zion <06726>.
