Joel 1:16-18 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹⁶Has not the food been cut off

before our very eyes —

joy and gladness

from the house of our God?

¹⁷The seeds lie shriveled beneath the clods;

the storehouses are in ruins;

the granaries are broken down,

for the grain has withered away.

¹⁸How the cattle groan!

The herds wander in confusion

because they have no pasture.

Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.

— Joel 1:16-18
