Joel 1:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹¹Be dismayed, you farmers,
    wail, you vine-dressers,
over the wheat and the barley;
    for the crops of the field are ruined.
¹²The vine withers,
    the fig tree droops.
Pomegranate, palm, and apple—
    all the trees of the field are dried up;
surely, joy withers away
    among the people.

A Call to Repentance and Prayer

¹³Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests;
    wail, you ministers of the altar.
Come, pass the night in sackcloth,
    you ministers of my God!
Grain-offering and drink-offering
    are withheld from the house of your God.
