Joel 1:16-18

Young's Literal Translation

¹⁶ Is not before our eyes food cut off? From the house of our God joy and rejoicing?

¹⁷ Rotted have scattered things under their clods, Desolated have been storehouses, Broken down have been granaries, For withered hath the corn.

¹⁸ How have cattle sighed! Perplexed have been droves of oxen, For there is no pasture for them, Also droves of sheep have been desolated.
