Joel 1:16-18
Names of God Bible
16 Food disappears right before our eyes.
Happiness and rejoicing disappear from our Elohim’s temple.
17 Seeds shrivel up in their shells.[a]
Storehouses are destroyed.
Barns are ruined.
The grain has dried up.
18 The animals groan.
Herds of cattle wander around confused.
There’s no pasture for them.
Even flocks of sheep are suffering.
