Joel 1:11-13
New International Version
11 Despair, you farmers,(A)
wail, you vine growers;
grieve for the wheat and the barley,(B)
because the harvest of the field is destroyed.(C)
12 The vine is dried up
and the fig tree is withered;(D)
the pomegranate,(E) the palm and the apple[a] tree—
all the trees of the field—are dried up.(F)
Surely the people’s joy
is withered away.

Joel 1:11-13
King James Version
11 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
12 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
13 Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
