The Coming Famine

10 “The fields lie in ruins
    and the ground is dried up.[a]
Indeed, the grain is ruined,
    the new wine has evaporated,
        and the olive oil has run out.
11 Be dismayed, you farmers!
    Cry aloud, you vintners,
        for the wheat and barley,
    because the harvest in your fields has been lost.
12 The grapevine is shriveled
    and the fig tree is withered,
along with the pomegranate tree, the palm tree, the apple tree
    and all of the cultivated trees.[b]
Truly, joy has evaporated from Adam’s children.”[c]
