Joel 1:8-12
A Call to Mourning

8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

8:

9 The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD’S ministers, mourn.

9:

10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

10:

11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

11:

12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, [even] all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.

12:
