12. The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered;the pomegranate, the date palm, and the apple —all the trees of the orchard — have withered.Indeed, human joy has dried up.
13. Dress in sackcloth and lament, you priests; wail, you ministers of the altar.Come and spend the night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God,because grain and drink offeringsare withheld from the house of your God.
14. Announce a sacred fast; proclaim an assembly!Gather the elders and all the residents of the landat the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.
