Joel 1:8-10

Easy-to-Read Version

⁸ Cry like a young woman crying
    because the man she was ready to marry has died.
⁹ Priests, servants of the Lord, cry
    because there will be no more grain and drink offerings in the Lord’s Temple.
¹⁰ The fields are ruined.
    Even the ground is crying
    because the grain is destroyed;
the new wine is dried up,
    and the olive oil is gone.
