Gioele 1:11 In-Context

9 L’offerta di panatica, e da spandere, è del tutto mancata nella Casa del Signore; i sacerdoti, ministri del Signore, fanno cordoglio.
10 I campi son guasti, la terra fa cordoglio; perciocchè il frumento è stato guasto, il mosto è seccato, l’olio è venuto meno.
11 Lavoratori, siate confusi; urlate, vignaiuoli, per lo frumento, e per l’orzo; perciocchè la ricolta de’ campi è perita.
12 La vite è seccata, e il fico langue; il melagrano, ed anche la palma, e il melo, e tutti gli altri alberi della campagna son secchi; certo la letizia è seccata d’infra i figliuoli degli uomini.
13 Cingetevi di sacchi, e piangete, o sacerdoti; urlate, ministri dell’altare; venite, passate la notte in sacchi, ministri dell’Iddio mio; perciocchè l’offerta di panatica, e da spandere, è divietata dalla Casa dell’Iddio vostro.
