Joel 1:7-9

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁷ It has devastated My grapevine
and splintered My fig tree.
It has stripped off its bark and thrown it away;
its branches have turned white.
⁸ Grieve like a young woman dressed in sackcloth,^(A)
mourning for the husband of her youth.
⁹ Grain and drink offerings have been cut off^(B)
from the house of the Lord;
the priests, who are ministers of the Lord, mourn.^(C)
