Joel 1:16

A Call To Lamentation

¹⁵ Alas! for the day: for the day of Jehovah is near, and as destruction from the Almighty shall it come. ¹⁶ Was not the food cut off before our eyes, from the house of our God, joy and gladness? ¹⁷ The kernels died beneath the clods, the treasures were laid waste, the garners were pulled down, for the grain was dried up.
