10 The field is (A)ruined,
(B)The land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
The new wine has dried up,
Fresh oil has [a]failed.
11 (C)Be ashamed, you farm workers,
Wail, you vinedressers,
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.

Footnotes

  1. Joel 1:10 Lit dried out

A (A)fire consumes before them,
And behind them a flame devours.
The land is (B)like the Garden of Eden before them,
But a (C)desolate wilderness behind them,
And nothing at all escapes them.
