Bible verse
The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, palm, and apple—all the trees of the orchard—are withered. Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
Joel 1:12 · BSB
The verses around it, from Joel 1.
8 Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth, grieving for the husband of her youth.
9 Grain and drink offerings have been cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests are in mourning, those who minister before the LORD.
10 The field is ruined; the land mourns. For the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, and the oil fails.
11 Be dismayed, O farmers, wail, O vinedressers, over the wheat and barley, because the harvest of the field has perished.
12 The grapevine is dried up, and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, palm, and apple—all the trees of the orchard—are withered. Surely the joy of mankind has dried up.
13 Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests; wail, O ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God, because the grain and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Consecrate a fast; proclaim a solemn assembly! Gather the elders and all the residents of the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.
15 Alas for the day! For the Day of the LORD is near, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
16 Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes—joy and gladness from the house of our God?
