Joel 1:8

A Lament Over The Land

⁷ By him my vine is made waste and my fig-tree broken: he has taken all its fruit and sent it down to the earth; its branches are made white. ⁸ Make sounds of grief like a virgin dressed in haircloth for the husband of her early years. ⁹ The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.

Clothed with Sackcloth

In Me

Joel
