Joel 1:12-14
New American Standard Bible 1995
12 The (A)vine dries up
And the fig tree [a]fails;
The (B)pomegranate, the (C)palm also, and the [b](D)apple tree,
All the trees of the field dry up.
Indeed, (E)rejoicing dries up
From the sons of men.
13 (F)Gird yourselves with sackcloth
And lament, O priests;
(G)Wail, O ministers of the altar!
Come, (H)spend the night in sackcloth
O ministers of my God,
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
Starvation and Drought
14 (I)Consecrate a fast,
Proclaim a (J)solemn assembly;
Gather the elders
And all the inhabitants of the land
To the house of the Lord your God,
And (K)cry out to 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)
