Jeremiah 9:12

12 aWho is the man so wise that he can understand this? To whom has the mouth of the Lord spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined band laid waste like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?

Joel 1:10-12

10The fields are destroyed,
cthe ground mourns,
because dthe grain is destroyed,
ethe wine dries up,
the oil languishes.
11 fBe 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,
hbecause the harvest of the field has perished.
12The vine dries up;
ithe fig tree languishes.
Pomegranate, palm, and apple,
all the trees of the field are dried up,
and jgladness dries up
from the children of man.
