Joel 1:8-10

International Standard Version

⁸“Grieve like a virgin,
    who, dressed in her mourner’s clothes,^[a]
        cries out in memory^[b] of the man she was going to marry.^[c]
⁹Both grain offering and wine offering have been removed from the Lord’s Temple;^[d]
    the priests and ministering servants of the Lord are mourning.”

The Coming Famine

¹⁰“The fields lie in ruins
    and the ground is dried up.^[e]
Indeed, the grain is ruined,
    the new wine has evaporated,
        and the olive oil has run out.
