Joel 1:16-18

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁶Is not the food cut off
before our eyes,
joy and gladness
from the house of our God?

¹⁷The seed shrivels under the clods,^[a]
    the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are ruined
    because the grain has failed.
¹⁸How the animals groan!
    The herds of cattle wander about
because there is no pasture for them;
    even the flocks of sheep are dazed.^[b]
