Joel 1:12-14
Christian Standard Bible
12 The grapevine is dried up,(A)
and the fig tree is withered;
the pomegranate,(B) the date palm,(C) and the apple(D)—
all the trees of the orchard—have withered.
Indeed, human joy has dried up.(E)
13 Dress in sackcloth and lament,(F) you priests;(G)
wail,(H) you ministers of the altar.
Come and spend the night in sackcloth,(I)
you ministers of my God,
because grain and drink offerings
are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Announce a sacred fast;(J)
proclaim a solemn assembly!
Gather the elders(K)
and all the residents of the land
at the house of the Lord your God,(L)
and cry out to the Lord.(M)
