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 De esto contar茅is a vuestros hijos, y vuestros hijos a sus hijos, y su hijos a la otra generaci贸n.
4 Lo que qued贸 de la oruga comi贸 la langosta, y lo que qued贸 de la langosta comi贸 el pulg贸n; y el revolt贸n comi贸 lo que del pulg贸n hab铆a quedado.
5 Despertad, borrachos, y llorad; aullad, todos los que beb茅is vino, a causa del mosto, porque os es quitado de vuestra boca.
6 Porque gente subi贸 a mi tierra, fuerte y sin n煤mero; sus dientes, dientes de le贸n, y sus muelas, de le贸n.
7 Asol贸 mi vid, y descortez贸 mi higuera; del todo la desnud贸 y derrib贸; sus ramas quedaron blancas.
