Joel 1:16

A Call To Lamentation

For the Day of the LORD approaches, and like destruction from the Almighty, it will come! ¹⁶ Isn't our food supply cut off right in front of us, along with joy and gladness from the Temple of our God? ¹⁷ Seeds shrivel within their furrows, the storehouses lie empty, and granaries stand in ruins because the grain has withered.
