Isaiah 16:10
Joy and rejoicing have been removed from the orchard; no one is singing or shouting for joy in the vineyards. No one tramples grapes in the winepresses. I have put an end to the shouting.

Joel 1:10-12
The fields are destroyed; the land grieves; indeed, the grain is destroyed; the new wine is dried up; and the olive oil fails.Be ashamed, you farmers, wail, you vinedressers, over the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.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.

Isaiah 16:8
For Heshbon’s terraced vineyards and the grapevines of Sibmah have withered. The rulers of the nations have trampled its choice vines that reached as far as Jazer and spread to the desert. Their shoots spread out and reached the Dead Sea.
-
Hosea 9:1-2
Israel, do not rejoice jubilantly as the nations do, for you have acted promiscuously, leaving your God. You have loved the wages of a prostitute on every grain-threshing floor.Threshing floor and wine vat will not sustain them, and the new wine will fail them.

Isaiah 32:9-13
Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Pay attention to what I say, you overconfident daughters.In a little more than a year you overconfident ones will shudder, for the vintage will fail and the harvest will not come.Shudder, you complacent ones; tremble, you overconfident ones! Strip yourselves bare and put sackcloth around your waists.Beat your breasts in mourning for the delightful fields and the fruitful vines,for the ground of my people growing thorns and briers, indeed, for every joyous house in the joyful city.
