Joel 1:13-20
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 offerings are withheld from the house of your God.Announce a sacred fast; proclaim a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and all the residents of the land at the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.Woe because of that day! For the day of the LORD is near and will come as devastation from the Almighty.Hasn’t the food been cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?The seeds lie shriveled in their casings. The storehouses are in ruin, and the granaries are broken down, because the grain has withered away.How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander in confusion since they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep and goats suffer punishment.I call to you, LORD, for fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness, and flames have devoured all the trees of the orchard.Even the wild animals cry out to you, for the river beds are dried up, and fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness.

This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:Judah mourns; her city gates languish. Her people are on the ground in mourning; Jerusalem’s cry rises up.Their nobles send their servants for water. They go to the cisterns; they find no water; their containers return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.The ground is cracked since no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.Even the doe in the field gives birth and abandons her fawn since there is no grass.Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights panting for air like jackals. Their eyes fail because there are no green plants.Though our iniquities testify against us, LORD, act for your name’s sake. Indeed, our rebellions are many; we have sinned against you.

Let the groom leave his bedroom, and the bride her honeymoon chamber.Let the priests, the LORD’s ministers, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say,“ Have pity on your people, LORD, and do not make your inheritance a disgrace, an object of scorn among the nations. Why should it be said among the peoples,‘ Where is their God?’”
