Joel 1 (ERVEN) Easy to Read - English

1 Joel son of Pethuel received this message from the Lord:
2 Leaders, listen to this message! Listen to me, all you people who live in the land. Has anything like this happened before during your lifetime? No. Did anything like this happen during your fathers' lifetime? No.
3 You will tell these things to your children, and your children will tell their children, and your grandchildren will tell the people of the next generation.
4 What the cutting locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten. And what the swarming locust has left, the hopping locust has eaten. And what the hopping locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten!
5 Drunks, wake up and cry! All of you who drink wine, cry because your sweet wine is finished. You will not taste it again.
6 A powerful nation came to attack my land. Its soldiers were too many to count. Its weapons were as sharp as a lion's teeth and as powerful as a lion's jaw.
7 It destroyed my grapevine. Its good vines withered and died. It destroyed my fig tree, stripped off the bark and threw it away.
8 Cry like the young woman who was ready to be married, and her husband-to-be was killed.
9 Priests, servants of the Lord, cry because there will be no more grain and drink offerings in the Lord's Temple.
10 The fields are ruined. Even the ground is crying because the grain is destroyed; the new wine is dried up, and the olive oil is gone.
11 Be sad, farmers! Cry loudly, for the grapes, for the wheat and for the barley, because the harvest in the field is ruined.
12 The vines have become dry, and the fig tree is dying. All the trees in the field� the pomegranate, the palm, and the apple�have withered. And happiness among the people is dead.
13 Priests, put on your sackcloth and cry loudly. Servants of the altar, cry loudly. Servants of my God, you will sleep in your sackcloth because there will be no more grain and drink offerings in God's Temple.
14 Tell the people that there will be a special time of fasting. Call them together for a special meeting. Bring the leaders and everyone living in the land together at the Temple of the Lord your God, and pray to the Lord.
15 Be sad because the Lord's special day is near. At that time punishment will come like an attack from God All-Powerful.
16 Our food is gone. Joy and happiness are gone from the Temple of our God.
17 We planted seeds, but the seeds became dry and dead lying in the soil. Our plants are dry and dead. Our barns are empty and falling down.
18 The animals are hungry and groaning. The herds of cattle wander around confused because they have no grass to eat. The sheep are dying.
19 Lord, I am calling to you for help. Fire has changed our green fields into a desert. Flames have burned all the trees in the field.
20 Wild animals also need your help. The streams are dry� there is no water! Fire has changed our green fields into a desert.

3 Tell H5608 ye your children H1121 of H5921 it , and let your children H1121 tell their children, H1121 and their children H1121 another H312 generation. H1755
4 That which the palmerworm H1501 hath left H3499 hath the locust H697 eaten; H398 and that which the locust H697 hath left H3499 hath the cankerworm H3218 eaten; H398 and that which the cankerworm H3218 hath left H3499 hath the caterpillar H2625 eaten. H398

6 For H3588 a nation H1471 is come up H5927 upon H5921 my land, H776 strong, H6099 and without H369 number, H4557 whose teeth H8127 are the teeth H8127 of a lion, H738 and he hath the cheek teeth H4973 of a great lion. H3833
7 He hath laid H7760 my vine H1612 waste, H8047 and barked H7111 my fig tree: H8384 he hath made it clean bare H2834 H2834 , and cast it away; H7993 the branches H8299 thereof are made white. H3835

12 The vine H1612 is dried up, H3001 and the fig tree H8384 languisheth; H535 the pomegranate tree, H7416 the palm tree H8558 also, H1571 and the apple tree, H8598 even all H3605 the trees H6086 of the field, H7704 are withered: H3001 because H3588 joy H8342 is withered away H3001 from H4480 the sons H1121 of men. H120
13 Gird H2296 yourselves , and lament, H5594 ye priests: H3548 howl, H3213 ye ministers H8334 of the altar: H4196 come, H935 lie all night H3885 in sackcloth, H8242 ye ministers H8334 of my God: H430 for H3588 the meat offering H4503 and the drink offering H5262 is withheld H4513 from the house H4480 H1004 of your God. H430

15 Alas H162 for the day H3117 ! for H3588 the day H3117 of the LORD H3068 is at hand, H7138 and as a destruction H7701 from the Almighty H4480 H7706 shall it come. H935
16 Is not H3808 the meat H400 cut off H3772 before H5048 our eyes, H5869 yea , joy H8057 and gladness H1524 from the house H4480 H1004 of our God H430 ?
17 The seed H6507 is rotten H5685 under H8478 their clods, H4053 the garners H214 are laid desolate, H8074 the barns H4460 are broken down; H2040 for H3588 the corn H1715 is withered. H3001
18 How H4100 do the beasts H929 groan H584 ! the herds H5739 of cattle H1241 are perplexed, H943 because H3588 they have no H369 pasture; H4829 yea, H1571 the flocks H5739 of sheep H6629 are made desolate. H816
19 O LORD, H3068 to H413 thee will I cry: H7121 for H3588 the fire H784 hath devoured H398 the pastures H4999 of the wilderness, H4057 and the flame H3852 hath burned H3857 all H3605 the trees H6086 of the field. H7704
20 The beasts H929 of the field H7704 cry H6165 also H1571 unto H413 thee: for H3588 the rivers H650 of waters H4325 are dried up, H3001 and the fire H784 hath devoured H398 the pastures H4999 of the wilderness. H4057
