Joel 1:10-17 »The field is laid waste, the land mourns. The grain is destroyed, the new wine dried up, the oil fails.

NSB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ »The field is laid waste, the land mourns. The grain is destroyed, the new wine dried up, the oil fails. ¹¹ »Be ashamed you farmers. Cry you vinedressers. The wheat, the barley and the harvest of the field have perished. ¹² »The vine and the fig tree fail. The pomegranate-tree, the palm-tree also, and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field have dried up. Joy has withered away from the sons of men. ¹³ »Gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament, you priests! Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth you ministers of my God! The meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from the House of your God. ¹⁴ »Sanctify a fast! Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the House of Jehovah your God. Call out to Jehovah. ¹⁵ »Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is near! Destruction will come from the Almighty! ¹⁶ »Is not the food consumed before our eyes? Is joy and gladness removed from the House of our God? ¹⁷ »The seeds rot under dirt clods. The storehouses are desolate. The barns are torn down because the grain has dried up.
