Joel 1:12-14
New Life Version
12 The vine dries up and the fig tree wastes away. The pomegranate, the palm, the apple tree, and all the trees of the field dry up. And the people’s joy dries up.
13 Dress in cloth made from hair, and cry in sorrow, you religious leaders! Cry in a loud voice, you who serve at the altar! Come, spend the night in cloth made from hair, you who serve my God. For the grain gifts and drink gifts are kept from the house of your God. 14 Set apart a time when no food will be eaten. Call together a holy meeting. Gather the leaders and all the people of the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.

New International Version
12 The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;(A)
the pomegranate,(B) the palm and the apple[a] tree—
all the trees of the field—are dried up.(C)
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.
A Call to Lamentation
13 Put on sackcloth,(D) you priests, and mourn;
wail, you who minister(E) before the altar.
Come, spend the night in sackcloth,
you who minister before my God;
for the grain offerings and drink offerings(F)
are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Declare a holy fast;(G)
call a sacred assembly.
Summon the elders
and all who live in the land(H)
to the house of the Lord your God,
and cry out(I) to the Lord.(J)

King James Version
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
14 Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,
