Joel 1:10-17

10The field is 1ruined, 2The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine has dried up, Fresh oil has 3failed.114Be ashamed, you farm workers, Wail, you vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the 5harvest of the field is destroyed.12The 6vine has dried up And the fig tree has withered; The 7pomegranate, the 8palm also, and the 9apple tree, All the trees of the field have dried up. Indeed, 10joy has dried up From the sons of mankind.

1311Put on sackcloth And mourn, you priests; 12Wail, you ministers of the altar! Come, 13spend the night in sackcloth, You ministers of my God, For the grain offering and the drink offering Have been withheld from the house of your God.1414Consecrate a fast, Proclaim a 15solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the Lord your God, And 16cry out to the Lord.1517Woe for the day! For the 18day of the Lord is near, And it will come as 19destruction from the 20Almighty.16Has 21food not been cut off before our eyes, and Joy and 22rejoicing from the house of our God?17The 2324seeds have dried up under their shovels; The storehouses have become desolate, The grain silos are ruined, Because the grain has dried up.
