Berean Standard Bible
Joel 1:10-20
10The field is ruined; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.11Be dismayed, O farmers, wail, O vinedressers, over the wheat and barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.12The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, palm, and apple— all the trees of the orchard—are withered. Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
13Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests;wail, O ministers of the altar.Come, spend the night in sackcloth,O ministers of my God,because the grain and drink offeringsare withheld from the house of your God.14Consecrate a fast;proclaim a solemn assembly!Gather the eldersand all the residents of the landto the house of the LORD your God,and cry out to the LORD.
15Alas for the day!For the Day of the LORD is near,and it will comeas destruction from the Almighty.116Has not the food been cut offbefore our very eyes—joy and gladnessfrom the house of our God?17The seeds lie shriveled beneath the clods;the storehouses are in ruins;the granaries are broken down,for the grain has withered away.18How the cattle groan!The herds wander in confusionbecause they have no pasture.Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
