Joel 1:16-18

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶ Is not food cut off
    before our eyes,
from the house of our God,
    joy and gladness?
¹⁷ The seeds shrivel under their clods;
    the storehouses are desolate.
The grain storage places are destroyed
    because grain has dried out.
¹⁸ How the beasts^[a] groan;
    the herds of cattle wander around
because there is no pasture for them;
    the flocks of sheep are in distress.
