Joel 1:5 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 1:5

Awake, ye drunkards, and weep: and howl, all ye drinkers of
wine
Who are used to neither, either to awake or to howl, being very prone to drowsiness upon their drinking bouts, and to mirth and jollity in them; but now should be awake, and sober enough, not as being a virtue in them, but through want of wine; and for the same reason should howl, as follows: because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth;
the locusts having spoiled the vines and eaten the grapes, no new wine could be made, and so none could be brought in cups to their mouths; nor they drink it in bowls, as they had used to do; and which, being sweet and grateful to their taste, they were wont to drink in great abundance, till they were inebriated with it; but now there was a scarcity, their lips were dry, but not their eyes. The word, Kimchi says, signifies all liquor which is squeezed by bruising or treading.

Joel 1:5 In-Context

3 Cu茅ntenlo a sus hijos en los a帽os venideros
y que sus hijos lo relaten a sus hijos.
Transmitan esta historia de generaci贸n en generaci贸n.
4 Despu茅s de que la oruga devor贸 las cosechas,
隆el pulg贸n acab贸 con lo que quedaba!
Luego vino el saltamontes
y lleg贸 tambi茅n la langosta.
5 隆Despi茅rtense, borrachos, y lloren!
隆Giman, bebedores de vino!
Todas las uvas est谩n arruinadas
y se acab贸 el vino dulce.
6 Un inmenso ej茅rcito
de langostas ha invadido mi tierra,
un ej茅rcito terrible, imposible de contar.
Sus dientes son como los del le贸n
y sus colmillos se parecen a los de la leona.
7 Destruy贸 mis vides
y arruin贸 mis higueras;
les arranc贸 la corteza y la destruy贸,
dejando sus ramas blancas y desnudas.
