Joel 1:8 - The Message

Weep like a young virgin dressed in black,
   mourning the loss of her fiancé.
Without grain and grapes,
   worship has been brought to a standstill
   in the Sanctuary of God.
The priests are at a loss.
   God’s ministers don’t know what to do.
The fields are sterile.
   The very ground grieves.
The wheat fields are lifeless,
   vineyards dried up, olive oil gone.
