Cry as a young woman cries
    when the man she was going to marry is killed.
There will be no more grain or drink offerings
    to offer in the Temple of the Lord.
Because of this, the priests,
    the servants of the Lord, cry.
10 The fields are ruined.
    Even the ground is dried up.
The grain is destroyed.
    The new wine is dried up.
    And the olive oil runs out.

Grain offerings and drink offerings(B)
    are cut off from the house of the Lord.
The priests are in mourning,(C)
    those who minister before the Lord.
10 The fields are ruined,
    the ground is dried up;(D)
the grain is destroyed,
    the new wine(E) is dried up,
    the olive oil fails.(F)
