Joel 1:16

A Call To Lamentation

¹⁵ And cry unto Jehovah, 'Alas for the day! For near is a day of Jehovah, And as destruction from the mighty it cometh. ¹⁶ Is not before our eyes food cut off? From the house of our God joy and rejoicing? ¹⁷ Rotted have scattered things under their clods, Desolated have been storehouses, Broken down have been granaries, For withered hath the corn.
