10 The fields are destroyed,
    (A)the ground mourns,
because (B)the grain is destroyed,
    (C)the wine dries up,
    the oil languishes.

11 (D)Be ashamed,[a] O tillers of the soil;
    wail, O vinedressers,
for the wheat and the barley,
    (E)because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 The vine dries up;
    (F)the fig tree languishes.
Pomegranate, palm, and apple,
    all the trees of the field are dried up,
and (G)gladness dries up
    from the children of man.
