Says the Lord.

Joel 1:10-13
New King James Version
10 The field is wasted,
(A)The land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
(B)The new wine is dried up,
The oil fails.
11 (C)Be ashamed, you farmers,
Wail, you vinedressers,
For the wheat and the barley;
Because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 (D)The vine has dried up,
And the fig tree has withered;
The pomegranate tree,
The palm tree also,
And the apple tree—
All the trees of the field are withered;
Surely (E)joy has withered away from the sons of men.
Mourning for the Land
13 (F)Gird yourselves and lament, you priests;
Wail, you who minister before the altar;
Come, lie all night in sackcloth,
You who minister to my God;
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
Jeremiah 12:4
New King James Version
4 How long will (A)the land mourn,
And the herbs of every field wither?
(B)The beasts and birds are consumed,
(C)For the wickedness of those who dwell there,
Because they said, “He will not see our final end.”
Isaiah 33:9
New King James Version
9 (A)The earth mourns and languishes,
Lebanon is shamed and shriveled;
Sharon is like a wilderness,
And Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
Isaiah 24:4-12
New King James Version
4 The earth mourns and fades away,
The world languishes and fades away;
The (A)haughty[a] people of the earth languish.
5 (B)The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants,
Because they have (C)transgressed the laws,
Changed the ordinance,
Broken the (D)everlasting covenant.
6 Therefore (E)the curse has devoured the earth,
And those who dwell in it are [b]desolate.
Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are (F)burned,
And few men are left.
7 (G)The new wine fails, the vine languishes,
All the merry-hearted sigh.
8 The mirth (H)of the tambourine ceases,
The noise of the jubilant ends,
The joy of the harp ceases.
9 They shall not drink wine with a song;
Strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.
10 The city of confusion is broken down;
Every house is shut up, so that none may go in.
11 There is a cry for wine in the streets,
All joy is darkened,
The mirth of the land is gone.
12 In the city desolation is left,
And the gate is stricken with destruction.
