⁷ It has laid waste^(A) my vines
    and ruined my fig trees.^(B)
It has stripped off their bark
    and thrown it away,
    leaving their branches white.

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.

⁹ “Many times I struck your gardens and vineyards,
    destroying them with blight and mildew.^(A)
Locusts^(B) devoured your fig and olive trees,^(C)
    yet you have not returned^(D) to me,”
declares the Lord.
