Joel 1:10-17
10The field is 1ruined, 2The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine dries up, Fresh oil 3fails.1145Be ashamed, O farmers, Wail, O vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the 6harvest of the field is destroyed.12The 7vine dries up And the fig tree 8fails; The 9pomegranate, the 10palm also, and the 1112apple tree, All the trees of the field dry up. Indeed, 13rejoicing dries up From the sons of men.
1314Gird yourselves with sackcloth And lament, O priests; 15Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, 16spend the night in sackcloth O ministers of my God, For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.1417Consecrate a fast, Proclaim a 18solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And 19cry out to the Lord.1520Alas for the day! For the 21day of the Lord is near, And it will come as 22destruction from the 23Almighty.16Has not 24food been cut off before our eyes, Gladness and 25joy from the house of our God?17The 2627seeds shrivel under their 28clods; The storehouses are desolate, The barns are torn down, For the grain is dried up.
