Joel 1:16-18

English Standard Version Anglicised

¹⁶ Is not the food cut off
    before our eyes,
^(A)joy and gladness
    from the house of our God?
^17 (B)The seed shrivels under the clods;^[a]
    the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are torn down
    because ^(C)the grain has dried up.
¹⁸ How ^(D)the beasts groan!
    The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
    even the flocks of sheep suffer.^[b]
