Joel 1:12-14
Authorized (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,
Joel 1:12-14
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)
