Joel 1:10

Context

1:10 The crops of the fields 1  have been destroyed. 2 

The ground is in mourning because the grain has perished.

The fresh wine has dried up;

the olive oil languishes.

1 tn Heb “the field has been utterly destroyed.” The term “field,” a collective singular for “fields,” is a metonymy for crops produced by the fields.

2 tn Joel uses intentionally alliterative language in the phrases שֻׁדַּד שָׂדֶה (shuddad sadeh, “the field is destroyed”) and אֲבְלָה אֲדָמָה (’avlahadamah, “the ground is in mourning”).
