Joel 1:8

A Lament Over The Land

⁷ He hath turned my vine to a waste, and my fig-tree to splinters, - he hath, barked it clean, and cast it down, bleached are its branches. ⁸ Wail thou, like a virgin girded with sackcloth, for the owner of her youth. ⁹ Cut off are the meal-offering and the drink-offering, from the house of Yahweh, - In grief are the priests, the attendants on Yahweh: -

Clothed with Sackcloth

In Me
