Joel 1:15-17

The Voice

¹⁵ But look! It is coming!
    The day of the Eternal One is near.
Destruction, not salvation,
    will be the sentence from the Highest God.
¹⁶ Hasn’t all our food been destroyed right before our eyes?
Haven’t joyful celebrations ceased in God’s house?

¹⁷ The seeds the farmers planted have shriveled beneath the ground;^[a]
    all the storehouses are empty; their supplies are gone.
The barns are breaking down
    because there is no more grain to fill them.
