El campo está asolado, la tierra está de duelo, porque el grano está arruinado, el mosto se seca, y el aceite virgen se pierde.
El campo fue desolado, se enlutó la tierra; porque el trigo fue destruido, se secó el mosto, languideció el aceite.
El campo fue destruido, se enlutó la tierra; porque el trigo fue destruido, se secó el mosto, el aceite pereció.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The field is wasted,.... By the locust, that eat up all green things, the grass and herbs, the fruit and leaves of trees; and also by the Chaldeans trampling on it with their horses, and the increase of which became fodder for them:
the land mourneth; being destitute, nothing growing upon it, and so looked dismally, and of a horrid aspect; or the inhabitants of it, for want of provision:
for the corn is wasted; by the locusts, and so by the Assyrian or Chaldean army, before it came to perfection:
the new wine is dried up: in the grape, through the drought after mentioned: or, "is ashamed" r; not answering the expectations of men, who saw it in the cluster, promising much, but failed:
the oil languisheth; or "sickens" s; the olive trees withered; the olives fell off, as the Targum, and so the oil failed: the corn, wine, and oil, are particularly mentioned, not only as being the chief support of human life, as Kimchi observes, and so the loss of them must be matter of lamentation to the people in general; but because of these the meat and drink offerings were, and therefore the priests in particular had reason to mourn.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The field is wasted, the land mourneth - As, when God pours out His blessings of nature, all nature seems to smile and be glad, and as the Psalmist says, “to shout for joy and sing†Psalms 65:13, so when He withholds them, it seems to mourn, and, by its mourning, to reproach the insensibility of man. Oil is the emblem of the abundant graces and gifts of the Holy Spirit, and of the light and devotion of soul given by Him, and spiritual gladness, and overflowing, all-mantling charity.
