Joel 1:12-14

12The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple Or possibly apricot tree— all the trees of the field—are dried up. Surely the people’s joy is withered away.

A Call to Lamentation 13Put on sackcloth, you priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.

14Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD .
