10 The field is (A)ruined,
(B)The land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
The new wine has dried up,

For the wheat and the barley;
Because the (D)harvest of the field is destroyed.
12 The (E)vine has dried up
And the fig tree has withered;
The (F)pomegranate, the (G)palm also, and the (H)apple tree,
All the trees of the field have dried up.
Indeed, (I)joy has dried up
From the sons of mankind.
