Joel 1:7-9

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁷It has laid waste my vines,
and splintered my fig trees;
it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down;
their branches have turned white.

⁸Lament like a virgin dressed in sackcloth

⁹The grain-offering and the drink-offering are cut off
    from the house of the Lord.
The priests mourn,
    the ministers of the Lord.
