Context — The Invasion of Locusts
3Tell it to your children; let your children tell it to their children, and their children to the next generation.
4What the devouring locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten; what the swarming locust has left, the young locust has eaten; and what the young locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.
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.Cross References

Joel 1:5 Summary
Joel 1:5 is a call to wake up and repent, urging those who have been living in spiritual numbness to recognize the consequences of their actions and turn back to God. The verse uses the metaphor of wine being cut off to illustrate the loss of joy and pleasure that comes when we disobey God, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:39. Just as the Israelites were called to repentance in Joel 2:12-13, we too can turn back to God and find forgiveness and restoration. By recognizing our spiritual state and responding to God's call, we can experience the joy and pleasure that comes from a right relationship with Him, as described in Psalm 16:11.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the significance of wine in Joel 1:5?
In this verse, wine represents a source of joy and pleasure that has been taken away, much like the Israelites' experience in Deuteronomy 28:39, where their vineyards were destroyed as a consequence of disobedience. This serves as a call to repentance.
Who are the drunkards being addressed in Joel 1:5?
The drunkards in this verse are not just those who abuse alcohol, but also those who are spiritually numb and indifferent to God's warnings, similar to those described in Isaiah 28:7-8, who stumbled and erred in their spiritual walk.
What is the relationship between the locusts in Joel 1:4 and the call to wake up in Joel 1:5?
The locusts in Joel 1:4 represent the judgments of God that have been ravaging the land, and the call to wake up in Joel 1:5 is a response to these judgments, urging the people to recognize their spiritual state and repent, as seen in the pattern of judgment and repentance in Jeremiah 25:15-16.
How does Joel 1:5 relate to the wider context of the book of Joel?
Joel 1:5 is part of a larger call to repentance in the book of Joel, which emphasizes the need for the people to turn back to God in the face of judgment and destruction, as outlined in Joel 2:12-13, where God promises to relent if the people return to Him with fasting, weeping, and mourning.
Reflection Questions
- What are the things in my life that I have become numb to, and how can I wake up to God's presence and calling?
- In what ways have I been seeking pleasure and comfort in things that are fleeting, rather than in God's presence and promises?
- How can I use the difficulties and challenges in my life as an opportunity to repent and turn back to God, like the Israelites in Joel 1:5?
- What are some areas where I need to 'wake up' and be more aware of God's work in my life, and how can I cultivate a greater sense of spiritual awareness and sensitivity?
Gill's Exposition on 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
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Joel 1:5
Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Joel 1:5
Awake: great drinkers of intoxicating liquors are apt to sleep and be secure, the prophet doth therefore here call to them, as to sleepers, and by one apt word expresseth a double duty, vigilance of mind as well as of the body; so may this be paralleled with , or . Ye drunkards; riotous livers, such as ,12, whose life is nothing but a continued feasting with choicest wines, and in excess, such as , describeth. Weep and howl; lament your condition with sober tears, for the sorrows coming upon you are just matter of weeping; nor will an ordinary degree of weeping suffice, cry out and howl, like men surprised with insupportable miseries, 14:31 15:2. All ye drinkers of wine, who offend by an inordinate use of wine, for it is not to be understood of every one that drinketh wine, but of such as before are called drunkards, who are in love with wine. Because of the new wine, which is sweet and pleasing to the taste, and no doubt drank without stint or measure by men of that age, against which Joel prophesieth. For it is cut off from your mouth; suddenly cut off, even when you are ready to drink it, and totally, all cut off by these devouring vermin; which as it was a narrative of what was already done, refers to that waste and famine by the locusts; as it is allegorical and predictive, it will be more dreadfully fulfilled when the enemies of Judah shall destroy all.
Trapp's Commentary on Joel 1:5
Joe 1:5 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.Ver. 5. Awake, ye drunkards] Ye ale stakes, and suckers (Heb. Shiccorim), that pour in heady and intoxicating drinks, such as soon lay you to sleep, and (besides) take away your heart, Hosea 4:11, rob you of yourselves, and lay a beast in your room. Portentosum sane potionis genus, saith Pliny concerning ale, that excessively drunk maketh men mere sleepy than dormice: besides that worse sleep of carnal security, Ephesians 5:14 Romans 13:11. These, therefore, are here called upon to be sober and watch, yea, to weep and howl, to turn their laughter into mourning, and their joy into heaviness. And why? For their sin they should have done (as that drunkard in the ecclesiastical history, that, touched with a sense of his sin, wept himself blind), but here they are sarcastically called upon to weep for their great loss, as they esteem it. Because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth] As many things occur between the chin and the chalice, the cup and the lip: you made account to have mouthed it, to have swilled your souls, as they say, and to have swallowed it down your wide gullets, Vinum merum nondum dilutum. But behold, it happens somewhat otherwise; the caterpillar hath been before you, and left you nothing better than Adam’ s ale to tipple. This as cold comfort to the drunkard, whose word is that of the vine in Jotham’ s parable, Non possum relinquere vinum meum, I am not able to leave my wine.
Take away my liquor, you take away my life. Austin brings him in saying, Malle se vitam quam vinum eripi, He would rather lose his life than his wine. And Ambrose tells of one Theotimus, that being told by his physicians, that much quaffing would make him blind, Vale lumen amicum, said he, Farewell, sweet eyes; if ye will not bear wine, ye are no eyes for me. This drunkard would rather lose his sight than his sin; his soul than his lust. Such kind of persons are like the panther, which is said to love the dung of man so much, as if it be hanged on high from it, it will skip and leap up, and never leave till it have burst itself in pieces to get it; and this is the way they take that creature. God will take these natural brute beasts, made to be taken and destroyed, 2 Peter 2:14, after another manner. He will not only cut them short enough here, but turn a cup of fire and brimstone down their throats, Psalms 11:6, which will be worse to them than that ladleful of boiling lead poured down the throat of a drunken Turk, by the command of a bashaw.
Ellicott's Commentary on Joel 1:5
(5) Awake, ye drunkards—i.e., awake from such an insensibility as wine causes. The people failed to see the hand of God in the terrible calamity, like an acted parable, of the locusts. Insensate, as the revellers in the halls of Belshazzar, they carried on their feasting even while the enemies were at the city gates. It is cut off from your mouth.—Either joy and gladness, as given in the LXX., or the means of indulgence have been suddenly taken away.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Joel 1:5
Verse 5. Awake, ye drunkards] The general destruction of vegetation by these devouring creatures has totally prevented both harvest and vintage; so that there shall not be wine even for necessary uses, much less for the purposes of debauchery. It is well known that the ruin among the vines by locusts prevents the vintage for several years after.
Cambridge Bible on Joel 1:5
5–12. All classes are to unite in lamenting this calamity, which has not only (1) deprived them of some of their most valued luxuries, Joe 1:5-7, but also (2) interrupted the public worship of God, Joe 1:8-10, and (3) even left them destitute of the means of subsistence, Joe 1:11-12. Awake, ye drunkards] viz. from the sleep of intoxication (Genesis 9:24; Proverbs 23:35), which the ruin of the vintage will soon render impossible. howl] in wild and desperate grief: so Joe 1:11; Joe 1:13. Comp. on Amos 8:3. because of the sweet wine] Heb. ‘âsîs: see on Amos 9:13. from your mouth] where it is a source to you of gratification.
Barnes' Notes on Joel 1:5
Awake, ye drunkards, and weep - All sin stupefies the sinner. All intoxicate the mind, bribe and pervert the judgment, dull the conscience, blind the soul and make it insensible to its own ills.
Whedon's Commentary on Joel 1:5
5-12. The prophet calls upon all to lament, because all luxuries are cut off (Joe 1:5-7); the worship of Jehovah has suffered through the interruption, or at least threatened interruption, of the
