Joel 1:16-18
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
16 Is not the food cut off
before our eyes,
joy and gladness
from the house of our God?
17 The seed shrivels under the clods,[a]
the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are ruined
because the grain has failed.
18 How the animals groan!
The herds of cattle wander about
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep are dazed.[b]
Joel 1:16-18

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)
