  1. Joel 1:12 Or possibly apricot

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

11 (C)Be ashamed, you farmers,
Wail, you vinedressers,
For the wheat and the barley;
Because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 (D)The vine has dried up,
And the fig tree has withered;
The pomegranate tree,
The palm tree also,
And the apple tree—
All the trees of the field are withered;
Surely (E)joy has withered away from the sons of men.
