The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 1 of Joel. The mourning of a young woman over the loss of her bridegroom expresses the emotional depth of the catastrophe. Grain, wine, oil, and fruit trees disappear, so the devastation reaches food, economy, worship, and joy. Nature itself seems to participate in the community’s lament.

Das Feld ist verwüstet, und der Acker steht jämmerlich; das Getreide ist verdorben, der Wein steht jämmerlich und das Öl kläglich.
El campo fue destruido, enlutose la tierra; porque el trigo fue destruido, se secó el mosto, perdiose el aceite.
El campo ha sido devastado, la tierra está de duelo, porque el grano ha sido destruido, el vino nuevo se ha secado y el aceite se ha perdido.
Les champs sont ravagés, La terre est attristée; Car les blés sont détruits, Le moût est tari, l'huile est desséchée.
I campi son guasti, la terra fa cordoglio; perciocchè il frumento è stato guasto, il mosto è seccato, l’olio è venuto meno.
O campo está assolado, e a terra triste; porque o trigo está destruído, o mosto se secou, o azeite acabou.
田荒涼,地悲哀; 因為五穀毀壞, 新酒枯竭, 新的油也缺乏。
