Joel 1:12-14

New Catholic Bible

¹² The vine has withered;
    the fig tree droops.
The pomegranate, the palm, and the apple tree—
    all the trees of the field have dried up.
And the joy of the people
    has also withered away.

¹³ Put on sackcloth and lament, you priests!
    Wail, you ministers of the altar!
Come, pass the entire night in sackcloth,
    you ministers of my God!
For the house of your God is deprived
    of grain offerings and libations.
¹⁴ Announce a holy fast;
    proclaim a solemn assembly.
Summon the elders
    and all the inhabitants of the land
to the house of the Lord, your God,
    and cry out to the Lord.
