Joel 1:10-17

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 farmersH406; wailH3213, O ye vinedressersH3755, for the wheatH2406 and for the barleyH8184; because the harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 hath 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: wailH3213, ye ministersH8334 of the altarH4196: comeH935, lie all nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, ye ministersH8334 of my GodH430: for the meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is withheldH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.

14SanctifyH6942 ye a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and cryH2199 to the LORDH3068,1 15AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is at handH7138, and as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935. 16Is not the foodH400 cut offH3772 before our eyesH5869, and joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430? 17The seedH6507 hath perishedH5685 under their clodsH4053, the storehousesH214 are laid desolateH8074, the barnsH4460 are broken downH2040; for the grainH1715 is witheredH3001.2
