Joel 1:2-12
New International Version
An Invasion of Locusts
2 Hear this,(A) you elders;(B)
listen, all who live in the land.(C)
Has anything like this ever happened in your days
or in the days of your ancestors?(D)
3 Tell it to your children,(E)
and let your children tell it to their children,
and their children to the next generation.(F)
4 What the locust(G) swarm has left
the great locusts have eaten;
what the great locusts have left
the young locusts have eaten;
what the young locusts have left(H)
other locusts[a] have eaten.(I)
5 Wake up, you drunkards, and weep!
Wail, all you drinkers of wine;(J)
wail because of the new wine,
for it has been snatched(K) from your lips.
6 A nation has invaded my land,
a mighty army without number;(L)
it has the teeth(M) of a lion,
the fangs of a lioness.
7 It has laid waste(N) my vines
and ruined my fig trees.(O)
It has stripped off their bark
and thrown it away,
leaving their branches white.
8 Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth(P)
grieving for the betrothed of her youth.
9 Grain offerings and drink offerings(Q)
are cut off from the house of the Lord.
The priests are in mourning,(R)
those who minister before the Lord.
10 The fields are ruined,
the ground is dried up;(S)
the grain is destroyed,
the new wine(T) is dried up,
the olive oil fails.(U)
11 Despair, you farmers,(V)
wail, you vine growers;
grieve for the wheat and the barley,(W)
because the harvest of the field is destroyed.(X)
12 The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;(Y)
the pomegranate,(Z) the palm and the apple[b] tree—
all the trees of the field—are dried up.(AA)
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.
Joel 1:2-12
International Standard Version
Joel 1:2-12
International Standard Version
2 “Hear this, you elders!
Listen, all of you residents of the land!
Has there ever been anything like this during your lifetime,[a]
or even when your ancestors were alive?[b]
3 Pass it on to your children,
and from[c] your children to their children,
and from[d] their children to the following generation.
4 Whatever the devouring locust left behind
the locust swarm has consumed!
Whatever the locust swarm has left behind,
the young locust[e] has consumed!
Whatever the young locust[f] has left behind,
the ravaging locust has consumed!”
A Call to Mourning
5 “Wake up, you drunkards!
Cry aloud and howl, you wine drinkers,
because your supply of new wine has been snatched from you.[g]
6 Indeed, a nation has invaded my land—
it is strong and its population is too large to count[h]—
with teeth like a lion
and fangs[i] like a lioness.
7 That nation[j] laid waste my vines,
and stripped bare my fig tree,
discarding it.
It stripped off[k] its bark.
8 “Grieve like a virgin,
who, dressed in her mourner’s clothes,[l]
cries out in memory[m] of the man she was going to marry.[n]
9 Both grain offering and wine offering have been removed from the Lord’s Temple;[o]
the priests and ministering servants of the Lord are mourning.”
The Coming Famine
10 “The fields lie in ruins
and the ground is dried up.[p]
Indeed, the grain is ruined,
the new wine has evaporated,
and the olive oil has run out.
11 Be dismayed, you farmers!
Cry aloud, you vintners,
for the wheat and barley,
because the harvest in your fields has been lost.
12 The grapevine is shriveled
and the fig tree is withered,
along with the pomegranate tree, the palm tree, the apple tree
and all of the cultivated trees.[q]
Truly, joy has evaporated from Adam’s children.”[r]
