Joel 1:5-12

Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on Joel 1:5-12

5Wake up, you drunkards, and weep;
wail, all you drinkers of wine,
because of the sweet wine,
for it has been cut off from your mouth.
6For a nation has invaded My land,
powerful and without number;
its teeth are the teeth of a lion,
and its fangs are the fangs of a lioness.
7It has laid waste My grapevine
and splintered My fig tree.
It has stripped off the bark and thrown it away;
the branches have turned white.
8Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth,
grieving for the husband of her youth.
9Grain and drink offerings have been cut off
from the house of the LORD;
the priests are in mourning,
those who minister before the LORD.
10The field is ruined;
the land mourns.
For the grain is destroyed,
the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.
11Be dismayed, O farmers,
wail, O vinedressers,
over the wheat and barley,
because the harvest of the field has perished.
12The grapevine is dried up,
and the fig tree is withered;
the pomegranate, palm, and apple —
all the trees of the orchard— are withered.
Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
— Joel 1:5-12
