Joel 1:7-12

7He hath laidH7760 my vineH1612 wasteH8047, and barkedH7111 my fig treeH8384: he hath made it cleanH2834 bareH2834, and cast it awayH7993; the branchesH8299 thereof are made whiteH3835.1

8LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271. 9The grain offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068; the priestsH3548, Yhwh'sH3068 ministersH8334, mournH56. 10The fieldH7704 is wastedH7703, the landH127 mournethH56; for the grainH1715 is wastedH7703: the new wineH8492 is dried upH3001, the oilH3323 languishethH535. 11Be ye ashamedH3001, O ye husbandmenH406; howlH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; because the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is perishedH6. 12The vineH1612 is dried upH3001, and the fig treeH8384 languishethH535; the pomegranateH7416 tree, the palm treeH8558 also, and the apple treeH8598, even all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704, are witheredH3001: because joyH8342 is withered awayH3001 from the sonsH1121 of menH120.
