Isaiah 33:9

9 ^aThe land mourns and languishes;
Lebanon is confounded and withers away;
Sharon is like a desert,
and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.

Jeremiah 12:4

4 ^bHow long will the land mourn
and the grass of every field wither?
^cFor the evil of those who dwell in it
^dthe beasts and the birds are swept away,
because they said, “He will not see our latter end.”

Jeremiah 14:2

2 ^e“Judah mourns,
and ^fher gates languish;
her people lament on the ground,
and ^gthe cry of Jerusalem goes up.

Joel 1:9-13

9 ^hThe grain offering and the drink offering are cut off
from the house of the Lord.
ⁱThe priests mourn,
^jthe ministers of the Lord.
10 The fields are destroyed,
^kthe ground mourns,
because ^lthe grain is destroyed,
^mthe wine dries up,
the oil languishes.
11 ⁿBe ashamed, ^{▼▼The Hebrew words for dry up and be ashamed in verses 10–12, 17 sound alike} O tillers of the soil;
wail, O vinedressers,
for the wheat and the barley,
^pbecause the harvest of the field has perished.
12 The vine dries up;
^qthe fig tree languishes.
Pomegranate, palm, and apple,
all the trees of the field are dried up,
and ^rgladness dries up
from the children of man.

A Call to Repentance

13 ^sPut on sackcloth and lament, ^tO priests;
^uwail, O ministers of the altar.
Go in, ^vpass the night in sackcloth,
^wO ministers of my God!
^xBecause grain offering and drink offering
are withheld from the house of your God.

Joel 1:16-18

16 Is not the food cut off
before our eyes,
^yjoy and gladness
from the house of our God?
17 ^zThe seed shrivels under the clods; ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew line is uncertain}
the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are torn down
because ^abthe grain has dried up.
18 How ^acthe beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep suffer. ^{▼▼Or are made desolate}

Amos 4:7-8

7 “I also ^aewithheld the rain from you
when there were yet three months to the harvest;
^afI would send rain on one city,
and send no rain on another city;
one field would have rain,
and the field on which it did not rain would wither;
8 so two or three cities ^agwould wander to another city
to drink water, and would not be satisfied;
^ahyet you did not return to me,”

declares the Lord.
