   1: The word of Jehovah that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.
   2: Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?
   3: Tell your children of it, and [let] your children [tell] their children, and their children another generation:
   4: that which the palmer-worm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpillar eaten.
   5: Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine: for it is cut off from your mouth.
   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 cheek teeth of a lioness.
   7: He hath made my vine a desolation, and barked my fig-tree; he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away: its branches are made white.
   8: Wail like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
   9: The oblation and the drink-offering are cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah's ministers, mourn.
   10: The field is laid waste, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted, the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
   11: Be ashamed, ye husbandmen; howl, ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley: because the harvest of the field hath perished.
   12: The vine is dried up, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm also and the apple-tree; all the trees of the field are withered, yea, joy is withered away from the children of men.
   13: Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests; howl, ministers of the altar; come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the oblation and the drink-offering are withholden from the house of your God.
   14: Hallow a fast, proclaim a solemn assembly, gather the elders, [and] all the inhabitants of the land to the house of Jehovah your God, and cry unto Jehovah.
   15: Alas for the day! for the day of Jehovah is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
   16: Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
   17: The seeds are rotten under their clods, the granaries are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
   18: How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are bewildered, for they have no pasture; the flocks of sheep also are in suffering.
   19: To thee, Jehovah, do I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned up all the trees of the field.
   20: The beasts of the field also cry unto thee; for the water-courses are dried, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
