Joel 1:7-12

7He hath laid my vineH1612 wasteH8047, and barked my fig-tree: he hath madeH7760 it clean bareH2834, and castH7993 it awayH7993; the branchesH8299 thereof are madeH7760 whiteH3835.

8Lament like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271. 9The meal-offering and the drink-offering are cutH3772 off from the houseH1004 of Jehovah; the priestsH3548, Jehovah’s ministers, mournH56. 10The fieldH7704 is laid waste, the landH127 mourneth; for the grainH1715 is destroyedH7703, the newH8492 wineH8492 is driedH3001 up, the oilH3323 languisheth. 11Be confounded, O ye husbandmen, wailH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; for the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6. 12The vineH1612 is witheredH3001, and the fig-tree languisheth; the pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree alsoH1571, and the apple-tree, even all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 are witheredH3001: for joyH8342 is witheredH3001 away from the sonsH1121 of menH120.
