Joel 1:17-19

Good News Translation

¹⁷ The seeds die in the dry earth.
There is no grain to be stored,
    and so the empty granaries are in ruins.
¹⁸ The cattle are bellowing in distress
    because there is no pasture for them;
    the flocks of sheep also suffer.
¹⁹ I cry out to you, Lord,
    because the pastures and trees are dried up,
    as though a fire had burned them.
