Joel 1:16-18

Tree of Life Version

¹⁶ Is food not cut off before our eyes—
joy and gladness from God’s House?
¹⁷ Seed has shriveled under the dirt clod.
Storehouses are desolate,
    granaries are torn down,
    for the grain has withered.
¹⁸ How the animals groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed,
    because they have no pasture.
The flocks of sheep also suffer.
