Text

1	The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel:
2	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 fathers?
3	Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children to another generation.
4	What the cutting locust 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.
5	Awake, you drunkards, and weep, and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
6	For a nation has come up against my land, powerful and beyond number; its teeth are lions' teeth, and it has the fangs of a lioness.
7	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.
8	Lament like a virgin wearing sackcloth for the bridegroom of her youth.
9	The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests mourn, the ministers of the LORD.
10	The fields are destroyed, the ground mourns, because the grain is destroyed, the wine dries up, the oil languishes.
11	Be ashamed, O tillers of the soil; wail, O vinedressers, for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
12	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.
13	Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests; wail, O ministers of the altar. Go in, pass the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! Because grain offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.
14	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.
15	Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.
16	Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17	The seed shrivels under the clods; the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are torn down because the grain has dried up.
18	How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep suffer.
19	To you, O LORD, I call. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burned all the trees of the field.
20	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.

NIV

1	The word of the LORD that came to Joel son of Pethuel.
2	Hear this, you elders; listen, all who live in the land. Has anything like this ever happened in your days or in the days of your forefathers?
3	Tell it to your children, and let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.
4	What the locust 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 other locusts have eaten.
5	Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you drinkers of wine; wail because of the new wine, for it has been snatched from your lips.
6	A nation has invaded my land, powerful and without number; it has the teeth of a lion, the fangs of a lioness.
7	It has laid waste my vines and ruined my fig trees. It has stripped off their bark and thrown it away, leaving their branches white.
8	Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth grieving for the husband of her youth.
9	Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD.
10	The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the oil fails.
11	Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed.
12	The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree- all the trees of the field-are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away.
13	Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.
14	Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.
15	Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
16	Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes- joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17	The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up.
18	How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19	To you, O LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the open pastures and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
20	Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the open pastures.

NLT

1	The LORD gave this message to Joel son of Pethuel.
2	Hear this, you leaders of the people. Listen, all who live in the land. In all your history, has anything like this happened before?
3	Tell your children about it in the years to come, and let your children tell their children. Pass the story down from generation to generation.
4	After the cutting locusts finished eating the crops, the swarming locusts took what was left! After them came the hopping locusts, and then the stripping locusts, too!
5	Wake up, you drunkards, and weep! Wail, all you wine-drinkers! All the grapes are ruined, and all your sweet wine is gone.
6	A vast army of locusts has invaded my land, a terrible army too numerous to count. Its teeth are like lions' teeth, its fangs like those of a lioness.
7	It has destroyed my grapevines and ruined my fig trees, stripping their bark and destroying it, leaving the branches white and bare.
8	Weep like a bride dressed in black, mourning the death of her husband.
9	For there is no grain or wine to offer at the Temple of the LORD. So the priests are in mourning. The ministers of the LORD are weeping.
10	The fields are ruined, the land is stripped bare. The grain is destroyed, the grapes have shriveled, and the olive oil is gone.
11	Despair, all you farmers! Wail, all you vine growers! Weep, because the wheat and barley– all the crops of the field– are ruined.
12	The grapevines have dried up, and the fig trees have withered. The pomegranate trees, palm trees, and apple trees– all the fruit trees– have dried up. And the people's joy has dried up with them.
13	Dress yourselves in burlap and weep, you priests! Wail, you who serve before the altar! Come, spend the night in burlap, you ministers of my God. For there is no grain or wine to offer at the Temple of your God.
14	Announce a time of fasting; call the people together for a solemn meeting. Bring the leaders and all the people of the land into the Temple of the LORD your God, and cry out to him there.
15	The day of the LORD is near, the day when destruction comes from the Almighty. How terrible that day will be!
16	Our food disappears before our very eyes. No joyful celebrations are held in the house of our God.
17	The seeds die in the parched ground, and the grain crops fail. The barns stand empty, and granaries are abandoned.
18	How the animals moan with hunger! The herds of cattle wander about confused, because they have no pasture. The flocks of sheep and goats bleat in misery.
19	LORD, help us! The fire has consumed the wilderness pastures, and flames have burned up all the trees.
20	Even the wild animals cry out to you because the streams have dried up, and fire has consumed the wilderness pastures.

KJV

1	The word of the LORD 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 ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation.
4	That which the palmerworm 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 caterpiller 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, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion.
7	He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white.
8	Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9	The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
10	The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
11	Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12	The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13	Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
14	Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, and cry unto the LORD,
15	Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
16	Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17	The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
18	How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
19	O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
20	The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
