The prophet Joel gives further directions to the priests and the people to move them to national repentance before the LORD. The LORD sent the locusts and a drought, and Joel, seeing the Day of The LORD for the first time, believes that another judgment is soon to fall on Judah. Joel notes that even as the food has been cut off from the people, the herds and flocks as well as the wildlife are suffering. Only Yahweh can restore "the land of milk and honey."
