Joel 1:16 BBE

¹⁴  Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.

¹⁵  Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.

¹⁶  Is not food cut off before our eyes? joy and delight from the house of our God?

¹⁷  The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.

¹⁸  What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.
