What does Joel 1:13 mean?

Priests, put on your mourning clothes and cry all night. You who serve at the altar, come and grieve. There’s nothing left to offer your God. Joel 1:13 - Modern Text Bible

(Joel urges the priests to mourn deeply, since their role as mediators between God and people is now impossible.)
