8. Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.
9. The grain offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD'S ministers, mourn.
10. The field is wasted, the land mourns; for the grain is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languishes.
11. Be ashamed, O you farmers; wail, O you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished.
12. The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languishes; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy has withered away from the sons of men.
13. Gird yourselves, and lament, you priests: wail, you ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God: for the grain offering and the drink offering is withheld from the house of your God.
