Joel 1:15-18
English Standard Version
15 Alas for the day!
(A)For the day of the Lord is near,
and as destruction from the Almighty[a] it comes.
16 Is not the food cut off
before our eyes,
(B)joy and gladness
from the house of our God?
17 (C)The seed shrivels under the clods;[b]
the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are torn down
because (D)the grain has dried up.
18 How (E)the beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep suffer.[c]

15 Alas for that(A) day!
For the day of the Lord(B) is near;

before our very eyes—
joy and gladness(E)
from the house of our God?(F)

beneath the clods.[b](G)
The storehouses are in ruins,
the granaries have been broken down,
for the grain has dried up.

The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;(H)
even the flocks of sheep are suffering.(I)

King James Version
15 Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
