Joel 1:13 - Forerunner Commentary

Joel 1:13

11 ^aBe ashamed, you farmers,
Wail, you vinedressers,
For the wheat and the barley;
Because the harvest of the field has perished.

12 ^aThe vine has dried up,
And the fig tree has withered;
The pomegranate tree,
The palm tree also,
And the apple tree—
All the trees of the field are withered;
Surely ^bjoy has withered away from the sons of men.

Mourning for the Land

13 ^aGird yourselves and lament, you priests;
Wail, you who minister before the altar;
Come, lie all night in sackcloth,
You who minister to my God;
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.

14 ^aConsecrate a fast,
Call ^ba sacred assembly;
Gather the elders
And ^call the inhabitants of the land
Into the house of the Lord your God,
And cry out to the Lord.

15 ^aAlas for the day!
For ^bthe day of the Lord is at hand;
It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.

16 Is not the food ^acut off before our eyes,
^bJoy and gladness from the house of our God?

17 The seed shrivels under the clods,
Storehouses are in shambles;
Barns are broken down,
For the grain has withered.
