Joel 1:8-10

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth
    for the bridegroom of her youth.
⁹ The cereal offering and the drink offering are cut off
    from the house of the Lord.
The priests mourn,
    the ministers of the Lord.
¹⁰ The fields are laid waste,
    the ground mourns;
because the grain is destroyed,
    the wine fails,
    the oil languishes.
