Joel 1:16

A Call To Lamentation

¹⁵ Alas for the day! for the day of Jehovah is at hand, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come. ¹⁶ Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? ¹⁷ The seeds are rotten under their clods, the granaries are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.

Before Your Eyes

Joy and Gladness
