Joel 1:12-14

International Standard Version

¹² The grapevine is shriveled
    and the fig tree is withered,
along with the pomegranate tree, the palm tree, the apple tree
    and all of the cultivated trees.^[a]
Truly, joy has evaporated from Adam’s children.”^[b]

¹³ “Put on your mourning clothes, you priests;
    and cry aloud, you ministering servants at the altar!
Come! Stay the night in mourner’s clothes,^[c] you ministers of my God,
    because the grain offering and the wine offering is held back from the Temple of your God.
¹⁴ Set apart time for a fast!
    Call a solemn assembly!
Gather the elders and everyone living in the land to the Temple of the Lord your God,
    and cry out to the Lord!”
