Joel 1:15-17
The Voice

15 But look! It is coming!
    The day of the Eternal One is near.
Destruction, not salvation,
    will be the sentence from the Highest God.
16 Hasn’t all our food been destroyed right before our eyes?
Haven’t joyful celebrations ceased in God’s house?

17 The seeds the farmers planted have shriveled beneath the ground;[a]
    all the storehouses are empty; their supplies are gone.
The barns are breaking down
    because there is no more grain to fill them.

    For the day of the Lord(B) is near;

joy and gladness(E)
    from the house of our God?(F)
17 The seeds are shriveled
    beneath the clods.[b](G)
The storehouses are in ruins,
    the granaries have been broken down,
    for the grain has dried up.
