Joel 1:8-12

A Call to Widespread Lamentation

Joel 1:8-12
8
Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9
Sacrifice and libation is cut off from the house of the Lord: the priests, the Lord's ministers, have mourned:
10
The country is destroyed, the ground hath mourned: for the corn is wasted, the wine is confounded, the oil hath languished.
11
The husbandmen are ashamed, the vinedressers have howled for the wheat, and for the barley, because the harvest of the field is perished.
12
The vineyard is confounded, and the fig tree hath languished: the pomegranate tree, and the palm tree, and the apple tree, and all the trees of the field are withered: because joy is withdrawn from the children of men.
