Joel 1:16-18
Evangelical Heritage Version
16 Hasn’t the food been cut off right before our eyes?
Happiness and celebration are cut off from the house of our God.
17 The planted seed is dried up under the clods of earth.[a]
The storehouses are in ruins.
The granaries have been broken down, because the grain has dried up.
18 Listen to how the cattle bellow!
The herds of cattle are milling around in confusion, because they have no pasture.
Even the flocks of sheep are suffering punishment.
