Joel 1:9-13

Joel 1:9-13

[9] The meat offering  and the drink offering  is cut off  from the house  of the LORD;  the priests,  the LORD'S  ministers,  mourn.  [10] The field  is wasted,  the land  mourneth;  for the corn  is wasted:  the new wine  is dried up,  the oil  [11] O ye husbandmen;  howl,  O ye vinedressers,  for the wheat  and for the barley;  because the harvest  of the field  is perished.  [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.
