Weep like a bride dressed in black,
    mourning the death of her husband.
For there is no grain or wine
    to offer at the Temple of the Lord.
So the priests are in mourning.
    The ministers of the Lord are weeping.

    the land is stripped bare.
The grain is destroyed,
    the grapes have shriveled,
    and the olive oil is gone.
