Joel 1:11-12
New English Translation
Joel 1:11-12
New English Translation
11 Be distressed,[a] farmers;
wail, vinedressers, over the wheat and the barley.
For the harvest of the field has perished.
12 The vine has dried up;
the fig tree languishes—
the pomegranate, date, and apple[b] as well.
In fact,[c] all the trees of the field have dried up.
Indeed, the joy of the people[d] has dried up!
