Joel 1:15-17

New International Reader's Version

¹⁵ The day of the Lord is near.
    How sad it will be on that day!
    The Mighty One is coming to destroy you.

¹⁶ Our food has been taken away
    right in front of our eyes.
There isn’t any joy or gladness
    in the house of our God.
¹⁷ The seeds have dried up in the ground.
    The grain is also gone.
The storerooms have been destroyed.
    The barns are broken down.
