Joel 1:8-11

New International Version

⁸ Mourn like a virgin in sackcloth^(A)
    grieving for the betrothed of her youth.
⁹ Grain offerings and drink offerings^(B)
    are cut off from the house of the Lord.
The priests are in mourning,^(C)
    those who minister before the Lord.
¹⁰ The fields are ruined,
    the ground is dried up;^(D)
the grain is destroyed,
    the new wine^(E) is dried up,
    the olive oil fails.^(F)

¹¹ Despair, you farmers,^(G)
    wail, you vine growers;
grieve for the wheat and the barley,^(H)
    because the harvest of the field is destroyed.^(I)
