Joel 1:16-18
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
16 Is not your food cut off before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The beasts have rotted in their dung, the barns are destroyed, the storehouses are broken down: because the corn is confounded.
18 Why did the beast groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them: yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished.

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)
