10. The crops of the fields have been destroyed.The ground is in mourning because the grain has perished.The fresh wine has dried up;the olive oil languishes.
11. Be distressed, farmers;wail, vinedressers, over the wheat and the barley.For the harvest of the field has perished.
12. The vine has dried up;the fig tree languishes – the pomegranate, date, and apple as well. In fact, all the trees of the field have dried up.Indeed, the joy of the people has dried up!
13. Get dressed and lament, you priests!Wail, you who minister at the altar!Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you servants of my God,because no one brings grain offerings or drink offerings to the temple of your God anymore.
14. Announce a holy fast;proclaim a sacred assembly.Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the landto the temple of the Lord your God,and cry out to the Lord.
15. How awful that day will be!For the day of the Lord is near;it will come as destruction from the Divine Destroyer.
