Joel 1:17 Context
15Alas for the day: for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almightie shall it come. 16Is not the meate cut off before your eyes, yea ioy and gladnesse from the house of our God? 17The seede is rotten vnder their clods: the garners are laide desolate: the barnes are broken downe, for the corne is withered. 18How doe the beastes grone? the heards of cattell are perplexed, because they haue no pasture, yea the flockes of sheepe are made desolate. 19O Lord, to thee will I crie: for the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernesse, and the flame hath burnt all the trees of the field.
