Joel 1:8-10

Modern English Version

⁸ Lament like a virgin wearing sackcloth
    for the husband of her youth.
⁹ The grain offering and the drink offering
    are cut off from the house of the Lord;
the priests mourn, who are
    ministers to the Lord.
¹⁰ The field is ravaged,
    the ground mourns;
for the grain is ruined,
    the new wine is dried up,
    and the oil dwindles.
