Joel 1:16-18

Complete Jewish Bible

¹⁶ The food is cut off before our very eyes,
also joy and gladness from the house of our God.
¹⁷ The seed-grain is rotting in its furrows;
the granaries are deserted, the barns in ruins;
because the grain has withered.
¹⁸ How the animals groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed,
because they have no pasture.
The flocks of sheep bear the punishment, too.
