7 He has set My vine to waste, and My fig tree to splinter; he has thoroughly stripped off the bark and thrown it away, its branches have become white. 8 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth over the husband of her youth. 9 The grain offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of YHWH; the priests mourn—those ministering to YHWH. 10 The field is ruined, the land mourns; for the grain is ruined, the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes. 11 Be ashamed, O farmers, wail, O vinedressers, over the wheat and over the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished. 12 The vine has withered and the fig tree has languished; the pomegranate, also the palm tree and the apple tree—all the trees of the field—have dried up. For the joy of the sons of man has withered away. Joel 1:7-12, Berean Literal Bible. Public domain.
