Joel 1:15-20

Thomson(i) 15 "Ah me! Ah me! Ah me! for the day." For the day of the Lord is at hand; and it will come like destruction on destruction. 16 Food is utterly destroyed before your eyes; joy and gladness, from the house of your God. 17 The heifers startled at their stalls. Stores are exhausted; wine lakes are gone to ruin, as the corn is blasted, 18 what shall we substitute for ourselves? The herds of cattle uttered mournful lowings, because there was no pasture for them; and the flocks of sheep are utterly destroyed. 19 To thee, Lord, let me cry for myself, because a fire hath consumed the pleasant places of the wilderness, and a flame hath blasted all the trees of the field. 20 To thee indeed the cattle in the plain have looked up, because the springs of water are quite dry, and a fire hath devoured the pleasant places of the wilderness.
