Joel 1:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7He has laid my vine waste,and stripped my fig tree.He has stripped its bark, and thrown it away.Its branches are made white. 8Mourn like a virgin dressed in sackclothfor the husband of her youth! 9The meal offering and the drink offering are cut off from Yahweh’s house.The priests, Yahweh’s ministers, mourn. 10The field is laid waste.The land mourns, for the grain is destroyed,The new wine has dried up,and the oil languishes. 11Be confounded, you farmers!Wail, you vineyard keepers,for the wheat and for the barley;for the harvest of the field has perished.
