Joel 1:8-10

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁸ Cry loudly like a young woman who is dressed in sackcloth,
mourning for the man she was going to marry.
⁹ Grain offerings and wine offerings
are no longer brought to the Lord’s temple.
The priests, the Lord’s servants, mourn.
¹⁰ Israel’s fields are ruined, and the ground is dried up.
The grain has been destroyed.
The new wine has dried up.
The olive oil has run out.
