Joel 1:12-14
Young's Literal Translation
12 The vine hath been dried up, And the fig-tree doth languish, Pomegranate, also palm, and apple-tree, All trees of the field have withered, For dried up hath been joy from the sons of men.
13 Gird, and lament, ye priests, Howl, ye ministrants of the altar, Come in, lodge in sackcloth, ministrants of my God, For withheld from the house of your God hath been present and libation.
14 Sanctify a fast, proclaim a restraint, Gather the elders -- all the inhabitants of the land, [Into] the house of Jehovah your God,

Joel 1:12-14
New International Version
12 The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;(A)
the pomegranate,(B) the palm and the apple[a] tree—
all the trees of the field—are dried up.(C)
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.
A Call to Lamentation
13 Put on sackcloth,(D) you priests, and mourn;
wail, you who minister(E) before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings(F)
are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;(G)
call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
and all who live in the land(H)
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out(I) to the Lord.(J)
