Joel.
-
Joel won the word of the Lord that came to Joel,
-
the son of Bethiol.
-
Hear this, you elders, give ear, all inhabitants of the land.
-
Has such a thing happened in your days or in
-
the days of your father's Tell your children of it,
-
and let your children tell their children and their children
-
to another generation. What the cutting locusts left, the swarming
-
locust has eaten, What the swarming locust left, the hopping
-
locust has eaten, And what the hopping locust left, the
-
destroying locust has eaten. Awaken you, drunkards, and weep and wail,
-
all you drinkers of wine because of the sweet wine,
-
for it is cut off from your mouth. For a
-
nation has come up against my land, and powerful and
-
beyond number. Its teeth are lion's teeth, and it has
-
the fangs of a lioness. It has laid waste my
-
vine and splintered my fig tree. It has stripped off
-
their bark and thrown it down. Their branches are made
-
white lament, like a virgin wearing sackcloth for the bridegroom
-
of her youth. The grain offering and the drink offering
-
are cut off from the house of the Lord. The
-
priests mourn, the ministers of the Lord. The fields are destroyed.
-
The ground mourns because the grain is destroyed. The wine
-
dries up, the oil languishes, be ashamed, Oh tillers of
-
the soil, whil oh vine dressers for the wheat and
-
the barley. Because the harvest of the field has perished.
-
The vine dries up. The fig tree languishes, pomegranate, palm,
-
and apple. All the trees of the field are dried up,
-
and gladness dries up from the children of man. Put
-
on sackcloth and lament, Oh priests, wail, Oh ministers of
-
the Altar, Go in past the knight in sackcloth, Oh
-
ministers of my God, because grain offering and drink offering
-
are withheld from the house of your God. Consecrate a
-
fast call, a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all
-
the inhabitants of the land to the House of the Lord,
-
your God, and cry out to the Lord alas for
-
the day, for the day of the Lord is near,
-
and as destruction from the Almighty it comes, is not
-
the food cut off before our eyes? Joy and gladness
-
from the house of our God. The sieed shriples under
-
the clods. The storehouses are desolate, the granaries are torn
-
down because the grain has dried up. How the beasts
-
grown the herds of cattle are perplexed because there is
-
no pasture for them. Even the flocks of sheep suffer
-
to you, Oh Lord, I call for Fire has devoured
-
the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burned all
-
the trees of the field. Even the beasts of the
-
field pant for you, because the water brooks are dried up,
-
and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
-
Joel to.
-
Blow a trumpet inciani, sounding of harm on my holy mountain,
-
that all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the
-
day of the Lord is coming. It is near, a
-
day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and
-
thick darkness like blackness. There is spread upon the mountains
-
a great and powerful people. Their like has never been before,
-
nor will be again after them, through the years of
-
all generations. Fire devours before them, and behind them a
-
flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden
-
before them, but behind them a desolate wilderness, and nothing
-
escapes them. Their appearance is like the appearance of horses,
-
and like war horses, they run, as with the rumbling
-
of chariots. They leap on the tops of the mountains,
-
like the crackling of a flame of fire, devouring the stubble,
-
like a powerful army drawn up for battle. Before them,
-
peoples are in anguish. All faces grow pale, like warriors.
-
They charge like soldiers. They scale the wall. They march,
-
each on his way. They do not squerve from their paths.
-
They do not jostle one another. Each marches in his path.
-
They burst through the weapons and are not halted. They
-
leap upon the city, They run upon the walls. They
-
climb up into the houses. They enter through the windows
-
like a thief.
-
The earthquakes before them.
-
The heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened,
-
and the stars withdraw their shining. The Lord lutters his
-
voice before his army. For his camp is exceedingly great.
-
He who executes his word is powerful. For the day
-
of the Lord is great and very awesome. Who can
-
endure it? Yet, even now declares the Lord, return to
-
me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and
-
with mourning. And rend your hearts and not your garments.
-
Return to the Lord your God. For he is gracious
-
and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.
-
And he relents over disaster. Who knows whether he will
-
not turn and relent and leave a blessing behind him,
-
a grain offering and a drink offering for the Lord
-
your God. Blow the trumpet in Zion. That's a cradle
-
fast call a solemn assembly. Gather the people, consecrate the congregation,
-
Assemble the elders, gather the children, even nursing infants. Let
-
the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber
-
between the vestibule and the altar. Let the priests the
-
ministers of the Lord weep and.
-
Say, spare your people, o Lord, and make not your
-
heritage a reproach a byword among the nations. Why should
-
they say, among the peoples, where is their god?
-
Then the Lord became jealous for his land and had
-
pity on his people. The Lord answered and said to
-
his people.
-
Behold, I am sending to you grain, wine and oil,
-
and you will be satisfied. And I will no more
-
make you a reproach among the nations.
-
I will remove the northerner far from you, and drive
-
him into a parched and desolate land. His vanguarden to
-
the eastern sea, and his rear garden to the western sea.
-
A stench and foul smell of him will rise, for
-
he has done great things. Fear not of land. Be
-
glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things.
-
Fear not you, beasts of the field, For the pastures
-
of the wilderness are green, the tree bears its fruit,
-
the fig tree and vine give their full yield. Be glad, old,
-
children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God,
-
for he has given the early rain for your vindication.
-
He has poured down for you abundant rain, the early
-
and the latter rain. As before. The threshing floors shall
-
be full of grain. The vats shall overflow with wine
-
and oil.
-
I will restore to you the years that the swarming
-
locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter.
-
My great army which I sent among you. You shall
-
eat and plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name
-
of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you.
-
And my people shall never again be put to shame.
-
You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel,
-
and that I am the Lord, your God, and there
-
is none else. And my people shall never again be
-
put to shame. And it shall come to pass afterward
-
that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh.
-
Your sons and your daughter shall prophesy. Your old men
-
shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions,
-
even on the male and female servants. In those days,
-
I will pour.
-
Out my spirit, and I will show wonders in the
-
heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns
-
of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness and
-
the moons of blood before the great and awesome day
-
of the Lord comes. And it shall come to pass
-
that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord
-
shall be saved. Or in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
-
there shall be those who escape, as the Lord has said,
-
and among the survivors shall be those whom the.
-
Lord calls Joel three.
-
For behold in those days, and at that time when
-
I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, I will
-
gather all the nations and bring them down to the
-
Valley of Jehashafat, and I will enter into judgment with
-
them there on behalf of my people and my heritage Israel,
-
because they have scattered them among the nations, and have
-
divided up my land, and have cast lots from my people,
-
and have traded a boy for a prostitute, and have
-
sold girl for wine and have drunk it. What are
-
you to me, oh tire and Sidon and all the
-
regions of Felictia, are you paying me back for something?
-
If you are paying me back, I will return your
-
payment on your own hands, swiftly and speedily. For you
-
have taken my silver in my gold, and have carried
-
my rich treasures into your temples. You have sold the
-
people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks in order
-
to remove them far from their own border. Behold, I
-
will stir them up from the place to which you
-
have sold them, and I will return your payment on
-
your own head. I will sell your sons and your
-
daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, and
-
they will sell them to the Sabians, to a nation
-
far away. For the Lord has spoken, proclaim this among
-
the nations. Consecrate for war, stir up the mighty men.
-
Let all the men of war draw near. Let them
-
come up. Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning
-
hooks into spears. Let the weak say I am a warrior.
-
Hasten and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves there.
-
Bring down your warriors, O Lord. Let the nations stir
-
themselves up and come up to the valley of Jehashafat,
-
For there I will sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
-
Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go
-
in tread, for the wine press is full, the vats overflow,
-
for their evil is great. Multitudes, multitudes in the Valley
-
of Decision, For the day of the Lord is near.
-
In the Valley of Decision, the sun and the moon
-
are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining. The Lord
-
roars from Zion and utters his voice from Jerusalem and
-
the heavens and the earth quake. But the Lord is
-
a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people
-
of Israel.
-
So you shall know that I am the Lord, your God,
-
who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall
-
be holy, and strangers shall never again pass through it.
-
And in that day the mountains shall drip sweet wine,
-
and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the
-
stream beds of Judah shall flow with water, and a
-
fountain shall come forth from the House of the Lord,
-
and water the valley of Shittam Egypt shall become a
-
desolation and eat them a desolate wilderness for the violence
-
done to the people of Judah, because they have shed
-
innocent blood in their land. But Judah shall be inhabited forever,
-
and Jerusalem to all generations. I will avenge their blood,
-
blood I have not avenged for the Lord dwells and
-
