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

    wail, O vinedressers,
for the wheat and the barley,
    (E)because the harvest of the field has perished.

and (G)gladness dries up
    from the children of man.

  1. Joel 1:11 The Hebrew words for dry up and be ashamed in verses 10–12, 17 sound alike

And the waters of the sea will be dried up,
    and the river will be dry and parched,
and its canals will become foul,
    and the branches of Egypt's Nile will diminish and dry up,
    reeds and rushes will rot away.
There will be bare places by the Nile,
    on the brink of the Nile,
and all that is sown by the Nile will be parched,
    will be driven away, and will be no more.

    and the fields yield no food,

    and there be no herd in the stalls,
18 (A)yet I will rejoice in the Lord;
    (B)I will take joy in the God of my salvation.

    for the vine of Sibmah;
I drench you with my tears,
    O Heshbon and Elealeh;

    the shout has ceased.
10 (D)And joy and gladness are taken away from (E)the fruitful field,
and in the vineyards no (F)songs are sung,
    no cheers are raised;
no (G)treader treads out wine (H)in the presses;
    I have put an end to the shouting.
