Joel 1:16-18

New King James Version

¹⁶ Is not the food ^(A)cut off before our eyes,
^(B)Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
¹⁷ The seed shrivels under the clods,
Storehouses are in shambles;
Barns are broken down,
For the grain has withered.
¹⁸ How ^(C)the animals groan!
The herds of cattle are restless,
Because they have no pasture;
Even the flocks of sheep ^[a]suffer punishment.
