Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.

Verse 11 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.

Die Ackerleute sehen jämmerlich, und die Weingärtner heulen um den Weizen und die Gerste, daß aus der Ernte auf dem Felde nichts werden kann.
Confundíos, labradores, aullad, viñeros, por el trigo y la cebada; porque se perdió la mies del campo.
¡Avergüéncense, labradores! ¡Giman, viñadores, por el trigo y la cebada, porque se ha perdido la cosecha del campo!
Les laboureurs sont consternés, les vignerons gémissent, A cause du froment et de l'orge, Parce que la moisson des champs est perdue.
Lavoratori, siate confusi; urlate, vignaiuoli, per lo frumento, e per l’orzo; perciocchè la ricolta de’ campi è perita.
Envergonhai-vos, lavradores, gemei, vinhateiros, sobre o trigo e a cevada; porque a colheita do campo pereceu.
農夫啊,要慚愧; 修整葡萄園的啊,你們要哀號; 因為大麥、小麥與田間的莊稼全都毀了。
