Joel 1:8-12 Good News Bible Catholic Edition (GNBDK)

8. Cry, you people, like a young woman who mourns the deathof the man she was going to marry.

9. There is no corn or wine to offer in the Temple;the priests mourn because they have no offerings for the Lord.

10. The fields are bare;the ground mournsbecause the corn is destroyed,the grapes are dried up,and the olive trees are withered.

11. Grieve, you farmers;cry, you that take care of the vineyards,because the wheat, the barley,yes, all the crops are destroyed.

12. The grapevines and fig trees have withered;all the fruit trees have wilted and died.The joy of the people is gone.
