Joel 1:12-14

Good News Translation

¹² The grapevines and fig trees have withered;
    all the fruit trees have wilted and died.
The joy of the people is gone.
¹³ Put on sackcloth and weep,
    you priests who serve at the altar!
Go into the Temple and mourn all night!
There is no grain or wine to offer your God.
¹⁴ Give orders for a fast;
    call an assembly!
Gather the leaders
    and all the people of Judah
    into the Temple of the Lord your God
    and cry out to him!
