JOE 01:01 The word of the LORD that came to Joel the son of

Pethuel.

JOE 01:02 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?

JOE 01:03 Tell ye your children of it, and [let] your children

[tell] their children, and their children another generation.

JOE 01:04 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

caterpillar eaten.

JOE 01:05 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.

JOE 01:06 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.

JOE 01:07 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.

JOE 01:08 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the

husband of her youth.

JOE 01:09 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off

from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers,

mourn.

JOE 01:10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn

is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

JOE 01:11 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.

JOE 01:12 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.

JOE 01:13 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.

JOE 01:14 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.

JOE 01:15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD [is] at

hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.

JOE 01:16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy

and gladness from the house of our God?

JOE 01:17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are

laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is

withered.

JOE 01:18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are

perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of

sheep are made desolate.

JOE 01:19 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.

JOE 01:20 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.

JOE 02:01 Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my

holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for

the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand;

JOE 02:02 A day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds

and of thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains:

a great people and a strong; there hath not been ever the like,

neither shall be any more after it, [even] to the years of many

generations.

JOE 02:03 A fire devoureth before them; and behind them a flame

burneth: the land [is] as the garden of Eden before them, and

behind them a desolate wilderness; yea, and nothing shall escape

them.

JOE 02:04 The appearance of them [is] as the appearance of

horses; and as horsemen, so shall they run.

JOE 02:05 Like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains

shall they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that

devoureth the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

JOE 02:06 Before their face the people shall be much pained:

all faces shall gather blackness.

JOE 02:07 They shall run like mighty men; they shall climb the

wall like men of war; and they shall march every one on his ways,

and they shall not break their ranks:

JOE 02:08 Neither shall one thrust another; they shall walk

every one in his path: and [when] they fall upon the sword, they

shall not be wounded.

JOE 02:09 They shall run to and fro in the city; they shall run

upon the wall, they shall climb up upon the houses; they shall

enter in at the windows like a thief.

JOE 02:10 The earth shall quake before them; the heavens shall

tremble: the sun and the moon shall be dark, and the stars shall

withdraw their shining:

JOE 02:11 And the LORD shall utter his voice before his army:

for his camp [is] very great: for [he is] strong that executeth

his word: for the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible;

and who can abide it?

JOE 02:12 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye [even] to

me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and

with mourning:

JOE 02:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn

unto the LORD your God: for he [is] gracious and merciful, slow

to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil.

JOE 02:14 Who knoweth [if] he will return and repent, and leave

a blessing behind him; [even] a meat offering and a drink

offering unto the LORD your God?

JOE 02:15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a

solemn assembly:

JOE 02:16 Gather the people, sanctify the congregation,

assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck

the breasts: let the bridegroom go forth of his chamber, and the

bride out of her closet.

JOE 02:17 Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep

between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Spare thy

people, O LORD, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that

the heathen should rule over them: wherefore should they say

among the people, Where [is] their God?

JOE 02:18 Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity

his people.

JOE 02:19 Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people,

Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be

satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach

among the heathen:

JOE 02:20 But I will remove far off from you the northern

[army], and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with

his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the

utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour

shall come up, because he hath done great things.

JOE 02:21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD

will do great things.

JOE 02:22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the

pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her

fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

JOE 02:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the

LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately,

and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain,

and the latter rain in the first [month].

JOE 02:24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats

shall overflow with wine and oil.

JOE 02:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust

hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the

palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

JOE 02:26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and

praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously

with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

JOE 02:27 And ye shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel,

and [that] I [am] the LORD your God, and none else: and my

people shall never be ashamed.

JOE 02:28 And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will

pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your

daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your

young men shall see visions:

JOE 02:29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in

those days will I pour out my spirit.

JOE 02:30 And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the

earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

JOE 02:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon

into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD

come.

JOE 02:32 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall

call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount

Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath

said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

JOE 03:01 For, behold, in those days, and in that time, when I

shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,

JOE 03:02 I will also gather all nations, and will bring them

down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them

there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have

scattered among the nations, and parted my land.

JOE 03:03 And they have cast lots for my people; and have given

a boy for an harlot, and sold a girl for wine, that they might

drink.

JOE 03:04 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and

Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine? will ye render me a

recompense? and if ye recompense me, swiftly [and] speedily will

I return your recompense upon your own head;

JOE 03:05 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have

carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:

JOE 03:06 The children also of Judah and the children of

Jerusalem have ye sold unto the Grecians, that ye might remove

them far from their border.

JOE 03:07 Behold, I will raise them out of the place whither ye

have sold them, and will return your recompense upon your own

head:

JOE 03:08 And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the

hand of the children of Judah, and they shall sell them to the

Sabeans, to a people far off: for the LORD hath spoken [it].

JOE 03:09 Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war,

wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let

them come up:

JOE 03:10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your

pruninghooks into spears: let the weak say, I [am] strong.

JOE 03:11 Assemble yourselves, and come, all ye heathen, and

gather yourselves together round about: thither cause thy mighty

ones to come down, O LORD.

JOE 03:12 Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley

of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen

round about.

JOE 03:13 Put ye in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe: come,

get you down; for the press is full, the vats overflow; for

their wickedness [is] great.

JOE 03:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for

the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision.

JOE 03:15 The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars

shall withdraw their shining.

JOE 03:16 The LORD also shall roar out of Zion, and utter his

voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake:

but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength

of the children of Israel.

JOE 03:17 So shall ye know that I [am] the LORD your God

dwelling in Zion, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy,

and there shall no strangers pass through her any more.

JOE 03:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the

mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow

with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters,

and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and

shall water the valley of Shittim.

JOE 03:19 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a

desolate wilderness, for the violence [against] the children of

Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

JOE 03:20 But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from

generation to generation.

JOE 03:21 For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not

cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
