Joel 1:8-11

Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

⁸ Grieve like a young woman dressed in sackcloth,^(A)
mourning for the husband of her youth.
⁹ Grain and drink offerings have been cut off^(B)
from the house of the Lord;
the priests, who are ministers of the Lord, mourn.^(C)
10 The fields are destroyed;^(D)
the land grieves;
indeed, the grain is destroyed;
the new wine is dried up;^(E)
and the fresh oil fails.^(F)
11 Be ashamed, you farmers,^(G)
wail, you vinedressers,^[a]
over the wheat and the barley,
because the harvest of the field has perished.^(H)
