Joel 1:8-14

8LamentH421 like a virginH1330 girdedH2296 with sackclothH8242 for the husbandH1167 of her youthH5271. 9The meat offeringH4503 and the drink offeringH5262 is cut offH3772 from the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068; the priestsH3548, the LORD’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 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
