Joel 1 13

You priests, wear clothes that are not comfortable. That will show that you are sad. You cry, you who serve the Lord in his temple. Come, you who serve in front of my God. Sleep in the clothes that are not comfortable. Cry for the gifts of food and drink. Cry because they do not come to the house of your God any longer.
