Joel

Joel 1:10–12

¹⁰The field is ruined;

the land mourns.

For the grain is destroyed,

the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.

¹¹Be dismayed, O farmers,

wail, O vinedressers,

over the wheat and barley,

because the harvest of the field has perished.

¹²The grapevine is dried up,

and the fig tree is withered;

the pomegranate, palm, and apple—

all the trees of the orchard— are withered.

Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
