Joel 1:12-14
Legacy Standard Bible
12 The (A)vine dries up,
And the fig tree [a]fails;
The (B)pomegranate, the (C)palm also, and the [b](D)apple tree,
All the trees of the field dry up.
Indeed, (E)rejoicing dries up
From the sons of men.
The Day of Yahweh Is Near
13 (F)Gird yourselves with sackcloth
And lament, O priests;
(G)Wail, O ministers of the altar!
Come, (H)spend the night in sackcloth,
O ministers of my God;
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
14 (I)Set apart a fast as holy,
Call for a (J)solemn assembly;
Gather the elders
And all the inhabitants of the land
To the house of Yahweh your God,
And (K)cry out to Yahweh.
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)
