The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 12 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.

So steht der Weinstock auch jämmerlich und der Feigenbaum kläglich; dazu die Granatbäume, Palmbäume, Apfelbäume und alle Bäume auf dem Felde sind verdorrt; denn die Freude der Menschen ist zu Jammer geworden.
Secose la vid, y pereció la higuera, el granado también, la palma, y el manzano; secáronse todos los árboles del campo; por lo cual se secó el gozo de los hijos de los hombres.
La vid se ha secado, la higuera se ha marchitado; también el granado, la palmera y el manzano, todos los árboles del campo, se han secado. Se ha secado la alegría entre los hijos de los hombres.
La vigne est confuse, Le figuier languissant; Le grenadier, le palmier, le pommier, Tous les arbres des champs sont flétris... La joie a cessé parmi les fils de l'homme!
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.
A vide se secou, a figueira se murchou, a romeira também, e a palmeira e a macieira; todas as árvores do campo se secaram, e já não há alegria entre os filhos dos homens.
葡萄樹枯乾, 無花果樹衰殘, 石榴樹、棕樹、蘋果樹, 田野一切的樹木都枯乾; 眾人的喜樂盡都消逝。
