10 The field is (A)destroyed;
(B)The land mourns,
For the grain is destroyed,
The new wine dries up,
Fresh oil [a]fails.
11 [b](C)Be ashamed, O farmers,
Wail, O vinedressers,
For the wheat and the barley,
Because the (D)harvest of the field perishes.
12 The (E)vine dries up,
And the fig tree [c]fails;
The (F)pomegranate, the (G)palm also, and the [d](H)apple tree,
All the trees of the field dry up.
Indeed, (I)rejoicing dries up
From the sons of men.

But a (C)desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.
