Joel 1:10-14
New International Version
Joel 1:10-14
New International Version
10 The fields are ruined,
the ground is dried up;(A)
the grain is destroyed,
the new wine(B) is dried up,
the olive oil fails.(C)
11 Despair, you farmers,(D)
wail, you vine growers;
grieve for the wheat and the barley,(E)
because the harvest of the field is destroyed.(F)
12 The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;(G)
the pomegranate,(H) the palm and the apple[a] tree—
all the trees of the field—are dried up.(I)
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.
A Call to Lamentation
13 Put on sackcloth,(J) you priests, and mourn;
wail, you who minister(K) before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings(L)
are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;(M)
call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
and all who live in the land(N)
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out(O) to the Lord.(P)

Joel 1:10-14
King James Version
10 The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,
