Joel 1:9-12
Christian Standard Bible
9 Grain and drink offerings have been cut off(A)
from the house of the Lord;
the priests, who are ministers of the Lord, mourn.(B)
10 The fields are destroyed;(C)
the land grieves;
indeed, the grain is destroyed;
the new wine is dried up;(D)
and the fresh oil fails.(E)
11 Be ashamed, you farmers,(F)
wail, you vinedressers,[a]
over the wheat and the barley,
because the harvest of the field has perished.(G)
12 The grapevine is dried up,(H)
and the fig tree is withered;
the pomegranate,(I) the date palm,(J) and the apple(K)—
all the trees of the orchard—have withered.
Indeed, human joy has dried up.(L)
