KJV ORIGINAL
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.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
The grapevines are completely dried out, and the fig trees are dying. The pomegranate trees, palm trees, apple trees — literally every tree in the fields has withered up. It's like all the joy has been sucked out of people's lives.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
When everything around you feels dead, it's because joy has left the building.
