Joel 1:7-11

It has made my vine a waste And my fig tree a stump. It has stripped them bare and hurled them away; Their branches have become white.

Wail like a virgin clothed with sackcloth For the groom of her youth.

The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off From the house of the Lord. The priests mourn, The ministers of the Lord.

The field is ruined, The land mourns; For the grain is ruined, The new wine has dried up, Fresh oil has failed.

Be ashamed, you farm workers, Wail, you vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.
