Joel 1:7-9

New Catholic Bible

⁷ It has laid waste my vines
    and destroyed my fig trees,
stripping off their bark
    and leaving their branches white.
⁸ Lament like a virgin garbed in sackcloth
    grieving for the betrothed of her youth.
⁹ Grain offerings and drink offerings are cut off
    from the house of the Lord.
The priests, the ministers of the Lord,
    are in mourning.
