Joel 1:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Isn’t our food supply cut off right in front of us,^[a]
    along with joy and gladness from the Temple of our God?
¹⁷ Seeds shrivel within their furrows,
    the storehouses lie empty,
and granaries stand in ruins
    because the grain has withered.
¹⁸ Oh, how the livestock groan!
    The herds of cattle^[b] wander about
        because they have no pasture.
Even flocks of sheep suffer!
