Joel 1:12-14
New International Version - UK
12 The vine is dried up
and the fig-tree is withered;
the pomegranate, the palm and the apple[a] tree –
all the trees of the field – are dried up.
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.
A call to lamentation
13 Put on sackcloth, you priests, and mourn;
wail, you who minister before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings
are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;
call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
and all who live in the land
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out to the Lord.
