Joel 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸Lament like a virgin dressed in sackcloth
    for the husband of her youth.^(A)
⁹The grain offering and the drink offering are cut off
    from the house of the Lord.
The priests mourn,
    the ministers of the Lord.^(B)
¹⁰The fields are devastated,
    the ground mourns,
for the grain is destroyed,
    the wine dries up,
    the oil fails.^(C)
