Joel

1 A prophecy against the Jews. 2 He exhorteth the people to prayer and fasting for the misery that was at hand.

The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel.

Hear ye this, O [a]Elders, and hearken ye all inhabitants of the land, whether [b]such a thing hath been in your days, or yet in the days of your fathers.

Tell you your children of it, and let your children show to their children, and their children, to another generation.
