Joel 1:5-12
English Standard Version
5 Awake, you drunkards, and weep,
and (A)wail, all you drinkers of wine,
because of (B)the sweet wine,
for it is cut off from your mouth.
6 For (C)a nation has come up against my land,
(D)powerful and beyond number;
(E)its teeth are lions' teeth,
and it has the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has laid waste my vine
and splintered my (F)fig tree;
it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down;
their branches are made white.
8 Lament like a virgin[a] (G)wearing sackcloth
for the bridegroom of her youth.
9 (H)The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off
from the house of the Lord.
(I)The priests mourn,
(J)the ministers of the Lord.
10 The fields are destroyed,
(K)the ground mourns,
because (L)the grain is destroyed,
(M)the wine dries up,
the oil languishes.
11 (N)Be ashamed,[b] O tillers of the soil;
wail, O vinedressers,
for the wheat and the barley,
(O)because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 The vine dries up;
(P)the fig tree languishes.
Pomegranate, palm, and apple,
all the trees of the field are dried up,
and (Q)gladness dries up
from the children of man.

12 (A)Sow for yourselves righteousness;

(B)break up your fallow ground,
for it is the time to seek the Lord,
that he may come and (C)rain righteousness upon you.
13 (D)You have plowed iniquity;
you have reaped injustice;
you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your own way
and in the multitude of your warriors,
14 therefore (E)the tumult of war shall arise among your people,
and all your fortresses shall be destroyed,
as (F)Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle;
(G)mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
15 Thus it shall be done to you, O (H)Bethel,
because of your great evil.
At dawn (I)the king of Israel
shall be utterly cut off.
Hosea 9:16

9 Rejoice not, O Israel!
Exult not like the peoples;

(B)You have loved a prostitute's wages
on all threshing floors.
2 (C)Threshing floor and wine vat shall not feed them,
and (D)the new wine shall fail them.
3 They shall not remain in (E)the land of the Lord,
but (F)Ephraim shall return to Egypt,
and (G)they shall eat unclean food in Assyria.
4 (H)They shall not pour drink offerings of wine to the Lord,
(I)and their sacrifices shall not please him.
It shall be like (J)mourners' bread to them;
all who eat of it shall be defiled;
for their bread shall be for their hunger only;
(K)it shall not come to the house of the Lord.

but you shall be thirsty;
behold, my servants shall rejoice,
but you shall be put to shame;
14 behold, (B)my servants shall sing for gladness of heart,
but you shall cry out for pain of heart
and shall wail for breaking of spirit.

5 (A)For before the harvest, when the blossom is over,
and the flower becomes a ripening grape,
he cuts off the shoots with pruning hooks,
and the spreading branches he lops off and clears away.

to the birds of prey of the mountains
and to the beasts of the earth.
And the birds of prey will summer on them,
and all the beasts of the earth will winter on them.
