Joel 1:7-12

7It has laid waste my vine and splintered my fig tree; it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down; their branches are made white.

8Lament like a virgin wearing sackcloth for the bridegroom of her youth.

9The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of the Lord. The priests mourn, the ministers of the Lord.

10The fields are destroyed, the ground mourns, because the grain is destroyed, the wine dries up, the oil languishes.

11Be ashamed, O tillers of the soil; wail, O vinedressers, for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.

12The vine dries up; the fig tree languishes. Pomegranate, palm, and apple, all the trees of the field are dried up, and gladness dries up from the children of man.
