Joel 1:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ It has destroyed my vines,
    splintered my fig trees,
    stripped off their bark and thrown it down;
    their branches have turned white.
⁸ Lament like a woman dressed in funeral clothing,
    one who has lost the husband of her youth.
⁹ The grain offering and the drink offering are gone from the Lord’s temple.
The priests and the Lord’s ministers mourn.
