Joel 1:13-20
1599 Geneva Bible
13 [a]Gird yourselves and lament ye Priests: howl ye ministers of the altar: come, and lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering, and the drink offering is taken away from the house of your God.
14 Sanctify you a fast: call a solemn assembly: gather the Elders, and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord,
15 Alas: for the day, for the [b]day of the Lord is at hand, and it cometh as a destruction from the Almighty.
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes? and joy, and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed is rotten under their clods: the garners are destroyed: the barns are broken down, for the corn is withered.
18 How did the beasts mourn! the herds of cattle pine away, because they have no pasture, and the flocks of sheep are destroyed.
19 O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burnt up all the trees of the field.
20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the river of waters are dried up, and the [c]fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
