Joel 1:11-13
English Standard Version Anglicised
11 (A)Be ashamed,[a] O tillers of the soil;
wail, O vine dressers,
for the wheat and the barley,
(B)because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 The vine dries up;
(C)the fig tree languishes.
Pomegranate, palm, and apple,
all the trees of the field are dried up,
and (D)gladness dries up
from the children of man.
A Call to Repentance
13 (E)Put on sackcloth and lament, (F)O priests;
(G)wail, O ministers of the altar.
Go in, (H)pass the night in sackcloth,
(I)O ministers of my God!
(J)Because grain offering and drink offering
are withheld from the house of your God.
