Wail, all you drinkers of wine, + because of the sweet wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. +001:006 For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number. + His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs + of a lioness. +001:007 He has laid my vine waste, and stripped my fig tree. + He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away. Its branches + are made white. +001:008 Mourn like a virgin dressed in sackcloth for the husband + of her youth! +001:009 The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from + Yahweh's house. The priests, Yahweh's ministers, mourn. +001:010 The field is laid waste. The land mourns, for the grain + is destroyed, The new wine has dried up, and the oil languishes. +001:011 Be confounded, you farmers! Wail, you vineyard keepers; + for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the + field has perished. +001:012 The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered; + the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, + even all of the trees of the field are withered; for joy has + withered away from the sons of men. +001:013 Put on sackcloth and mourn, you priests! Wail, you ministers + of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers + of my God, for the meal offering and the drink offering are + withheld from your God's house. +001:014 Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders, + and all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of Yahweh, + your God, and cry to Yahweh. +001:015 Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is at hand, and it + will come as destruction from the Almighty. +001:016 Isn't the food cut off before our eyes; joy and gladness + from the house of our God? +001:017 The seeds rot under their clods. The granaries are laid desolate. + The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered. +001:018 How the animals groan! The herds of livestock are perplexed, + because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep + are made desolate. +001:019 Yahweh, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures + of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees + of the field. +001:020 Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, for the water + brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures + of the wilderness. +002:001 Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! + Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day + of Yahweh comes, for it is close at hand: +002:002 A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. + As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; + there has never been the like, neither will there be any more + after them, even to the years of many generations. +002:003 A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. + The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, + a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them. +002:004 The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses, + and as horsemen, so do they run. +002:005 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, + like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, + as a strong people set in battle array. +002:006 At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces + have grown pale. +002:007 They run like mighty men. They climb the wall like warriors. + They each march in his line, and they don't swerve off course. +002:008 Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, + and they burst through the defenses, and don't break ranks. +002:009 They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up + into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves. +002:010 The earth quakes before them. The heavens tremble. + The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars + withdraw their shining. +002:011 Yahweh thunders his voice before his army; for his forces + are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; + for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome, and who + can endure it? +002:012 "Yet even now," says Yahweh, "turn to me with all your heart, + and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning." +002:013 Tear your heart, and not your garments, and turn to Yahweh, + your God; for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, + and abundant in loving kindness, and relents from sending calamity. +002:014 Who knows? He may turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind him, + even a meal offering and a drink offering to Yahweh, your God. +002:015 Blow the trumpet in Zion! Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. +002:016 Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. + Gather the children, and those who suck the breasts. + Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, and the bride + out of her chamber. +002:017 Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch + and the altar, and let them say, "Spare your people, Yahweh, + and don't give your heritage to reproach, that the nations + should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, + 'Where is their God?'" +002:018 Then Yahweh was jealous for his land, And had pity on his people. +002:019 Yahweh answered his people, "Behold, I will send you grain, + new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; + and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations. +002:020 But I will remove the northern army far away from you, + and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front + into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; + and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise." + Surely he has done great things. +002:021 Land, don't be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for Yahweh has + done great things. +002:022 Don't be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures + of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. + The fig tree and the vine yield their strength. +002:023 "Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, + your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, + and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain + and the latter rain, as before. +002:024 The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats + will overflow with new wine and oil. +002:025 I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, + the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, + my great army, which I sent among you. +002:026 You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise + the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; + and my people will never again be disappointed. +002:027 You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I + am Yahweh, your God, and there is no one else; and my people + will never again be disappointed. +002:028 "It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on + all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. + Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions. +002:029 And also on the servants and on the handmaids in those days, + I will pour out my Spirit. +002:030 I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: + blood, fire, and pillars of smoke. +002:031 The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, + before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes. +002:032 It will happen that whoever will call on the name of Yahweh + shall be saved; for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there will + be those who escape, as Yahweh has said, and among the remnant, + those whom Yahweh calls. +003:001 "For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I restore + the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem, +003:002 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into + the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them + there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they + have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land, +003:003 and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for + a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink. +003:004 "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, + and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? + And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return + your repayment on your own head. +003:005 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried + my finest treasures into your temples, +003:006 and have sold the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem + to the sons of the Greeks, that you may remove them far + from their border. +003:007 Behold, I will stir them up out of the place where you have + sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head; +003:008 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands + of the children of Judah, and they will sell them to the men + of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for Yahweh has spoken it." +003:009 Proclaim this among the nations: "Prepare for war! + Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. + Let them come up. +003:010 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. + Let the weak say, 'I am strong.' +003:011 Hurry and come, all you surrounding nations, and gather + yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come + down there, Yahweh. +003:012 "Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the valley + of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all + the surrounding nations. +003:013 Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, + for the winepress is full, the vats overflow, for their + wickedness is great." +003:014 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! + For the day of Yahweh is near, in the valley of decision. +003:015 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars + withdraw their shining. +003:016 Yahweh will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; + and the heavens and the earth will shake; but Yahweh will be a + refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children of Israel. +003:017 "So you will know that I am Yahweh, your God, dwelling in Zion, + my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers + will pass through her any more. +003:018 It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down + sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks + of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will come forth + from the house of Yahweh, and will water the valley of Shittim. +003:019 Egypt will be a desolation, and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, + for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they + have shed innocent blood in their land. +003:020 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from + generation to generation. +003:021 I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: + for Yahweh dwells in Zion." + + + + +*** END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK, THE WORLD ENGLISH BIBLE (WEB): JOEL *** + +This file should be named 8256.txt or 8256.zip + +Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US +unless a copyright notice is included.
