Joel 1:9-13

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.

13GirdH2296 yourselves, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548: howlH3213, ye ministersH8334 of the altarH4196: comeH935, lie all nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, ye ministersH8334 of my GodH430: for the grain offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is withholdenH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.
