Joel 1:8-13
8 aWail like a virgin bclothed with sackcloth
For the groom of her youth.
9 The cgrain offering and the drink offering have been cut off
From the house of the Lord.
The dpriests mourn,
The ministers of the Lord.
10 The field is eruined,
fThe land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
The new wine has dried up,
Fresh oil has ▼
▼Lit dried out
failed. 11 hBe ashamed, you farm workers,
Wail, you vinedressers,
For the wheat and the barley;
Because the iharvest of the field is destroyed.
12 The jvine has dried up
And the fig tree has withered;
The kpomegranate, the lpalm also, and the mapple tree,
All the trees of the field have dried up.
Indeed, njoy has dried up
From the sons of mankind.
13 oPut on sackcloth
And mourn, you priests;
pWail, you ministers of the altar!
Come, qspend 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.
