New Testament

Joel 1:15-20 New English Translation (NET)

15. How awful that day will be!For the day of the Lord is near;it will come as destruction from the Divine Destroyer.

16. Our food has been cut off right before our eyes!There is no longer any joy or gladness in the temple of our God!

17. The grains of seed have shriveled beneath their shovels.Storehouses have been decimatedand granaries have been torn down, for the grain has dried up.

18. Listen to the cattle groan!The herds of livestock wander around in confusionbecause they have no pasture.Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.

19. To you, O Lord, I call out for help,for fire has burned up the grassy pastures,flames have razed all the trees in the fields.

20. Even the wild animals cry out to you;for the river beds have dried up;fire has destroyed the grassy pastures.
