The grain offering and the drink offering are cut offI have to say, I'm surprised God let things go this far. The offerings were part of the daily rituals at the Temple, and were required to be performed. By cutting off their supply, God was in effect preventing the people from worshiping Him "properly."
From the house of the LORD.
The priests mourn,
The ministers of the LORD.
I guess there are two ways to look at this. First, the people were so far gone that the sacrifices were pointless, so God removed the empty ritual. Second, God was showing them that the rituals were not the important thing, true worship of Him was.
