Joel 1:15-17

New King James Version

^15 (A)Alas for the day!
For ^(B)the day of the Lord is at hand;
It shall come as destruction from the Almighty.
¹⁶ Is not the food ^(C)cut off before our eyes,
^(D)Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
¹⁷ The seed shrivels under the clods,
Storehouses are in shambles;
Barns are broken down,
For the grain has withered.
