Joel 1:7-9

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁷         It has devastated my vines and shredded my fig trees.
        It has completely stripped off their bark and thrown it aside,
        so that their branches are bare and white.
⁸ Grieve like a virgin dressed in sackcloth,
    who grieves for the husband^[a] of her youth.
⁹         Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off from the house of the Lord.
        The priests are in mourning,
        those who minister in the presence of the Lord.
