Joel 1:16

A Call To Lamentation

¹⁵ Alas, alas for this day. And why? the day of the LORD is at hand, and cometh as a destroyer from the Almighty. ¹⁶ Shall not the meats be taken away before our eyes, the mirth also and joy from the house of our God? ¹⁷ The seed shall perish in the ground, the garners shall lie waste, the floors shall be broken down, for the corn shall be destroyed.

Before Your Eyes

Joy and Gladness
