The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of PethuelH6602.
HearH8085 this, ye old menH2205, and give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. Hath this been in your daysH3117, or evenH518 in the daysH3117 of your fathersH1?
TellH5608 ye your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tell their childrenH1121, and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generationH1755.
That which the palmerwormH1501 hath leftH3499 hath the locustH697 eatenH398; and that which the locustH697 hath leftH3499 hath the cankerwormH3218 eatenH398; and that which the cankerwormH3218 hath leftH3499 hath the caterpillerH2625 eatenH398. {That which the palmerworm…: Heb. The residue of the palmerworm}
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of PethuelH6602.
For a nationH1471 is come upH5927 upon my landH776, strongH6099, and without numberH4557, whose teethH8127 are the teethH8127 of a lionH738, and he hath the cheek teethH4973 of a great lionH3833.
LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271.
The beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 cryH6165 also unto thee: for the riversH650 of watersH4325 are dried upH3001, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
Because ye have takenH3947 my silverH3701 and my goldH2091, and have carriedH935 into your templesH1964 my goodlyH2896 pleasant thingsH4261: {pleasant: Heb. desirable}
The meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD'SH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56.
GirdH2296 yourselves, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548: howlH3213, ye ministersH8334 of the altarH4196: comeH935, lie all nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, ye ministersH8334 of my GodH430: for the meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is withholdenH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.
SanctifyH6942 ye a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and cryH2199 unto the LORDH3068, {solemn…: or, day of restraint}
AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138, and as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935.
Is not the meatH400 cut offH3772 before our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?
Let the priestsH3548, the ministersH8334 of the LORDH3068, weepH1058 between the porchH197 and the altarH4196, and let them sayH559, SpareH2347 thy peopleH5971, O LORDH3068, and giveH5414 not thine heritageH5159 to reproachH2781, that the heathenH1471 should rule overH4910 them: wherefore should they sayH559 among the peopleH5971, Where is their GodH430? {rule over: or, use a byword against}
BlowH8628 ye the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, and sound an alarmH7321 in my holyH6944 mountainH2022: let all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 trembleH7264: for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, for it is nigh at handH7138; {trumpet: or, cornet}
BlowH8628 the trumpetH7782 in ZionH6726, sanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116:
Be gladH1523 then, ye childrenH1121 of ZionH6726, and rejoiceH8055 in the LORDH3068 your GodH430: for he hath givenH5414 you the former rainH4175 moderatelyH6666, and he will cause to come downH3381 for you the rainH1653, the former rainH4175, and the latter rainH4456 in the firstH7223 month. {the former rain moderately: or, a teacher of righteousness} {moderately: Heb. according to righteousness}
Because ye have takenH3947 my silverH3701 and my goldH2091, and have carriedH935 into your templesH1964 my goodlyH2896 pleasant thingsH4261: {pleasant: Heb. desirable}
The wordsH1697 of AmosH5986, who was among the herdmenH5349 of TekoaH8620, which he sawH2372 concerning IsraelH3478 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063, and in the daysH3117 of JeroboamH3379 the sonH1121 of JoashH3101 kingH4428 of IsraelH3478, two yearsH8141 beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494.
And ye shall fleeH5127 to the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022; for the valleyH1516 of the mountainsH2022 shall reachH5060 unto AzalH682: yea, ye shall fleeH5127, like as ye fledH5127 from beforeH6440 the earthquakeH7494 in the daysH3117 of UzziahH5818 kingH4428 of JudahH3063: and the LORDH3068 my GodH430 shall comeH935, and all the saintsH6918 with thee. {the mountains: or, my mountains} {for the…: or, when he shall touch the valley of the mountains to the place he separated}
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138 upon all the heathenH1471: as thou hast doneH6213, it shall be doneH6213 unto thee: thy rewardH1576 shall returnH7725 upon thine own headH7218.
For the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635 shall be upon every one that is proudH1343 and loftyH7311, and upon every one that is lifted upH5375; and he shall be brought lowH8213:
And upon all the cedarsH730 of LebanonH3844, that are highH7311 and lifted upH5375, and upon all the oaksH437 of BashanH1316,
And upon all the highH7311 mountainsH2022, and upon all the hillsH1389 that are lifted upH5375,
And upon every highH1364 towerH4026, and upon every fencedH1219 wallH2346,
And upon all the shipsH591 of TarshishH8659, and upon all pleasantH2532 picturesH7914. {pleasant…: Heb. pictures of desire}
And the loftinessH1365 of manH120 shall be bowed downH7817, and the haughtinessH7312 of menH582 shall be made lowH8213: and the LORDH3068 alone shall be exaltedH7682 in that dayH3117.
And the idolsH457 he shall utterlyH3632 abolishH2498. {he…: or, shall utterly pass away}
And they shall goH935 into the holesH4631 of the rocksH6697, and into the cavesH4247 of the earthH6083, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776. {of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
With my soulH5315 have I desiredH183 thee in the nightH3915; yea, with my spiritH7307 withinH7130 me will I seek thee earlyH7836: for when thy judgmentsH4941 are in the earthH776, the inhabitantsH3427 of the worldH8398 will learnH3925 righteousnessH6664.
The greatH1419 dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138, it is nearH7138, and hastethH4118 greatlyH3966, even the voiceH6963 of the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068: the mighty manH1368 shall cryH6873 there bitterlyH4751.
That dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of wrathH5678, a dayH3117 of troubleH6869 and distressH4691, a dayH3117 of wastenessH7722 and desolationH4875, a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thick darknessH6205,
A dayH3117 of the trumpetH7782 and alarmH8643 against the fencedH1219 citiesH5892, and against the highH1364 towersH6438.
And I will bring distressH6887 upon menH120, that they shall walkH1980 like blind menH5787, because they have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068: and their bloodH1818 shall be poured outH8210 as dustH6083, and their fleshH3894 as the dungH1561.
Neither their silverH3701 nor their goldH2091 shall be ableH3201 to deliverH5337 them in the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 wrathH5678; but the whole landH776 shall be devouredH398 by the fireH784 of his jealousyH7068: for he shall makeH6213 even a speedyH926 riddanceH3617 of all them that dwellH3427 in the landH776.
HowlH3213 ye; for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138; it shall comeH935 as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.
Therefore shall all handsH3027 be faintH7503, and every man'sH582 heartH3824 shall meltH4549: {be faint: or, fall down}
And they shall be afraidH926: pangsH6735 and sorrowsH2256 shall take holdH270 of them; they shall be in painH2342 as a woman that travailethH3205: they shall be amazedH8539 oneH376 at anotherH7453; their facesH6440 shall be as flamesH3851. {be amazed: Heb. wonder} {one…: Heb. every man at his neighbour} {flames: Heb. faces of the flames}
Behold, the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 comethH935, cruelH394 both with wrathH5678 and fierceH2740 angerH639, to layH7760 the landH776 desolateH8047: and he shall destroyH8045 the sinnersH2400 thereof out of it.
To proclaimH7121 the acceptableH7522 yearH8141 of the LORDH3068, and the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 of our GodH430; to comfortH5162 all that mournH57;
For the dayH3117 of vengeanceH5359 is in mine heartH3820, and the yearH8141 of my redeemedH1350 is comeH935.
For this is the dayH3117 of the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635, a dayH3117 of vengeanceH5360, that he may avengeH5358 him of his adversariesH6862: and the swordH2719 shall devourH398, and it shall be satiateH7646 and made drunkH7301 with their bloodH1818: for the LordH136 GODH3069 of hostsH6635 hath a sacrificeH2077 in the northH6828 countryH776 by the riverH5104 EuphratesH6578.
Before the decreeH2706 bring forthH3205, before the dayH3117 passH5674 as the chaffH4671, beforeH3808 the fierceH2740 angerH639 of the LORDH3068 comeH935 upon you, before the dayH3117 of the LORD'SH3068 angerH639 comeH935 upon you.
Shall not the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 be darknessH2822, and not lightH216? even very darkH651, and no brightnessH5051 in it?
BecauseG1360 he hath appointedG2476 a dayG2250, inG1722 the whichG3739 he willG3195 judgeG2919 the worldG3625 inG1722 righteousnessG1343 byG1722 that manG435 whomG3739 he hath ordainedG3724; whereof he hath givenG3930 assuranceG4102 unto allG3956 men, in that he hath raisedG450 himG846 fromG1537 the deadG3498. {hath given…: or, offered faith}
BecauseG3754 thou hast keptG5083 the wordG3056 of myG3450 patienceG5281, I alsoG2504 will keepG5083 theeG4571 fromG1537 the hourG5610 of temptationG3986, whichG3588 shall comeG3195+G2064 uponG1909 allG3650 the worldG3625, to tryG3985 them that dwellG2730 uponG1909 the earthG1093.
ButG1161 the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 will comeG2240 asG5613 a thiefG2812 inG1722 the nightG3571; inG1722 the whichG3739 the heavensG3772 shall pass awayG3928 with a great noiseG4500, andG1161 the elementsG4747 shall meltG3089 with fervent heatG2741, the earthG1093 alsoG2532 andG2532 the worksG2041 that are thereinG1722+G846 shall be burned upG2618.
Seeing thenG3767 that allG3956 these thingsG5130 shall be dissolvedG3089, what mannerG4217 of persons oughtG1163 yeG5209 to beG5225 inG1722 all holyG40 conversationG391 andG2532 godlinessG2150,
Looking forG4328 andG2532 hastingG4692 unto the comingG3952 of the dayG2250 of GodG2316, whereinG1223+G3739 the heavensG3772 being on fireG4448 shall be dissolvedG3089, andG2532 the elementsG4747 shall meltG5080 with fervent heatG2741? {hasting…: or, hasting the coming}
NeverthelessG1161 weG4328, according toG2596 hisG846 promiseG1862, look forG4328 newG2537 heavensG3772 andG2532 a newG2537 earthG1093, whereinG1722+G3739 dwellethG2730 righteousnessG1343.
Shall the axeH1631 boastH6286 itself against him that hewethH2672 therewith? or shall the sawH4883 magnifyH1431 itself against him that shakethH5130 it? as if the rodH7626 should shakeH5130 itself against them that lift it upH7311, or as if the staffH4294 should lift upH7311 itself, as if it were no woodH6086. {the rod…: or, a rod should shake them that lift it up} {itself, as if…: or, that which is not wood}
Therefore is the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 kindledH2734 against his peopleH5971, and he hath stretched forthH5186 his handH3027 against them, and hath smittenH5221 them: and the hillsH2022 did trembleH7264, and their carcasesH5038 were tornH5478 in the midstH7130 of the streetsH2351. For all this his angerH639 is not turned awayH7725, but his handH3027 is stretched outH5186 still. {torn: or, as dung}
AndG2532 saidG3004 to the mountainsG3735 andG2532 rocksG4073, FallG4098 onG1909 usG2248, andG2532 hideG2928 usG2248 fromG575 the faceG4383 of him that sittethG2521 onG1909 the throneG2362, andG2532 fromG575 the wrathG3709 of the LambG721:
The wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 that came to JoelH3100 the sonH1121 of PethuelH6602.
HearH8085 this, ye old menH2205, and give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. Hath this been in your daysH3117, or evenH518 in the daysH3117 of your fathersH1?
TellH5608 ye your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tell their childrenH1121, and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generationH1755.
That which the palmerwormH1501 hath leftH3499 hath the locustH697 eatenH398; and that which the locustH697 hath leftH3499 hath the cankerwormH3218 eatenH398; and that which the cankerwormH3218 hath leftH3499 hath the caterpillerH2625 eatenH398. {That which the palmerworm…: Heb. The residue of the palmerworm}
That which the palmerwormH1501 hath leftH3499 hath the locustH697 eatenH398; and that which the locustH697 hath leftH3499 hath the cankerwormH3218 eatenH398; and that which the cankerwormH3218 hath leftH3499 hath the caterpillerH2625 eatenH398. {That which the palmerworm…: Heb. The residue of the palmerworm}
And MosesH4872 and AaronH175 came inH935 unto PharaohH6547, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680, How longH4970 wilt thou refuseH3985 to humbleH6031 thyself beforeH6440 me? let my peopleH5971 goH7971, that they may serveH5647 me.
ElseH3588, if thou refuseH3986 to let my peopleH5971 goH7971, behold, to morrowH4279 will I bringH935 the locustsH697 into thy coastH1366:
And they shall fillH4390 thy housesH1004, and the housesH1004 of all thy servantsH5650, and the housesH1004 of all the EgyptiansH4714; which neither thy fathersH1, nor thy fathers'H1 fathersH1 have seenH7200, since the dayH3117 that they were upon the earthH127 unto this dayH3117. And he turnedH6437 himself, and went outH3318 from PharaohH6547.
HearH8085 this, ye old menH2205, and give earH238, all ye inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776. Hath this been in your daysH3117, or evenH518 in the daysH3117 of your fathersH1?
TellH5608 ye your childrenH1121 of it, and let your childrenH1121 tell their childrenH1121, and their childrenH1121 anotherH312 generationH1755.
IfH2005 I shut upH6113 heavenH8064 that there be no rainH4306, or if I commandH6680 the locustsH2284 to devourH398 the landH776, or if I sendH7971 pestilenceH1698 among my peopleH5971;
If my peopleH5971, which are calledH7121 by my nameH8034, shall humbleH3665 themselves, and prayH6419, and seekH1245 my faceH6440, and turnH7725 from their wickedH7451 waysH1870; then will I hearH8085 from heavenH8064, and will forgiveH5545 their sinH2403, and will healH7495 their landH776. {which…: Heb. upon whom my name is called}
I have smittenH5221 you with blastingH7711 and mildewH3420: when your gardensH1593 and your vineyardsH3754 and your fig treesH8384 and your olive treesH2132 increasedH7235, the palmerwormH1501 devouredH398 them: yet have ye not returnedH7725 unto me, saithH5002 the LORDH3068. {when…: or, the multitude of your gardens, etc. did the palmerworm}
Thus hath the LordH136 GODH3069 shewedH7200 unto me; and, behold, he formedH3335 grasshoppersH1462 in the beginningH8462 of the shooting upH5927 of the latter growthH3954; and, lo, it was the latter growthH3954 afterH310 the king'sH4428 mowingsH1488. {grasshoppers: or, green worms}
And it came to pass, that when they had made an endH3615 of eatingH398 the grassH6212 of the landH776, then I saidH559, O LordH136 GODH3069, forgiveH5545, I beseech thee: by whom shall JacobH3290 ariseH6965? for he is smallH6996. {by…: or, who of (or, for,) Jacob shall stand?}
The LORDH3068 repentedH5162 for this: It shall not be, saithH559 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, Stretch outH5186 thine handH3027 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714 for the locustsH697, that they may come upH5927 upon the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and eatH398 every herbH6212 of the landH776, even all that the hailH1259 hath leftH7604.
And MosesH4872 stretched forthH5186 his rodH4294 over the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and the LORDH3068 broughtH5090 an eastH6921 windH7307 upon the landH776 all that dayH3117, and all that nightH3915; and when it was morningH1242, the eastH6921 windH7307 broughtH5375 the locustsH697.
And the locustsH697 went upH5927 over all the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and restedH5117 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714: veryH3966 grievousH3515 were they; beforeH6440 them there were no suchH3651 locustsH697 as they, neither afterH310 them shall be such.
For they coveredH3680 the faceH5869 of the whole earthH776, so that the landH776 was darkenedH2821; and they did eatH398 every herbH6212 of the landH776, and all the fruitH6529 of the treesH6086 which the hailH1259 had leftH3498: and there remainedH3498 not any green thingH3418 in the treesH6086, or in the herbsH6212 of the fieldH7704, through all the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
Then PharaohH6547 calledH7121 for MosesH4872 and AaronH175 in hasteH4116; and he saidH559, I have sinnedH2398 against the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and against you. {called: Heb. hastened to call}
Now therefore forgiveH5375, I pray thee, my sinH2403 only this onceH6471, and intreatH6279 the LORDH3068 your GodH430, that he may take awayH5493 from me this deathH4194 only.
And he went outH3318 from PharaohH6547, and intreatedH6279 the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 turnedH2015 a mightyH3966 strongH2389 westH3220 windH7307, which took awayH5375 the locustsH697, and castH8628 them into the RedH5488 seaH3220; there remainedH7604 not oneH259 locustH697 in all the coastsH1366 of EgyptH4714. {cast: Heb. fastened}
But the LORDH3068 hardenedH2388 Pharaoh'sH6547 heartH3820, so that he would not let the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971.
