Joel 1:8-10
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
8 Wail like a young woman[a] dressed in sackcloth
for the husband of her youth.
9 Grain offering and libation are cut off
from the house of the Lord;
In mourning are the priests,
the ministers of the Lord.
10 The field is devastated;
the farmland mourns,[b]
Because the grain is devastated,
the wine has dried up,
the oil has failed.
