Joel 1:16-20

Leeser(i) 16 Is not before our eyes the food cut off, from the house of our God joy and gladness? 17 The grains of seed are rotten under their clods, laid desolate are the garners, pulled down are the barns; for the corn is dried up. 18 How do the beasts groan! how do the herds of cattle roam about; because there is no pasture for them: yea, the flocks of sheep are made to perish. 19 To thee O Lord, will I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath singed all the trees of the field. 20 Also the beasts of the field cry unto thee panting; for the brooks of waters are dried up, and a fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
