Joel 1:16-18

GOD’S WORD Translation

¹⁶ Food disappears right before our eyes.
Happiness and rejoicing disappear from our God’s temple.
¹⁷ Seeds shrivel up in their shells.
Storehouses are destroyed.
Barns are ruined.
The grain has dried up.
¹⁸ The animals groan.
Herds of cattle wander around confused.
There’s no pasture for them.
Even flocks of sheep are suffering.
