Yoel 1:16-18
Orthodox Jewish Bible
16 Is not the okhel (food) cut off before our eyes, yea, simchah (joy) and gladness from the Beis Eloheinu [the Beis Hamikdash]?
17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the otzarot (storehouses) are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the grain is withered.
18 How do the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the edrei hatzon (flocks of sheep) are made desolate.

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)
