When the early prophets died, the Urim V’Tumim ceased. When the Temple was destroyed, there disappeared the sha-mir-worm and Tzufim honey; and there ceased to be any faithful men, as it is stated (Psalms 12:2): Save, HASHEM, for the devout one is no more, etc. Rabban Shimon ben Gamliel says in the name of R’ Yehoshua: From the day that the Temple was destroyed, there is no day without its curse, the dew has not fallen in blessing, and flavor has been removed from the fruits. R’ Yose says: The richness has also been lost from the fruits.
