Joel 1:16-20

NSB(i) 20 »Yes, the beasts of the field pant for you. The water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.« 16 »Is not the food consumed before our eyes? Is joy and gladness removed from the House of our God? 17 »The seeds rot under dirt clods. The storehouses are desolate. The barns are torn down because the grain has dried up. 18 »How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle wander about because they have no pasture. The flocks of sheep suffer. 19 »I cry to you Jehovah! For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame burned all the trees of the field.
