Joel 1:16-18
Amplified Bible
16
Has not the food been cut off before our eyes,
Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17
The seeds [of grain] shrivel under the clods,
The storehouses are desolate and empty,
The barns are in ruins
Because the grain is dried up.
18
How the animals groan!
The herds of cattle are bewildered and wander aimlessly
Because they have no pasture;
Even the flocks of sheep suffer.
Joel 1:16-18
New International Version
16 Has not the food been cut off(A)
before our very eyes—
joy and gladness(B)
from the house of our God?(C)
17 The seeds are shriveled
beneath the clods.[a](D)
The storehouses are in ruins,
the granaries have been broken down,
for the grain has dried up.
18 How the cattle moan!
The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;(E)
even the flocks of sheep are suffering.(F)
