web - Joel:1:13-20

web@Joel:1:13 @ Put on sackcloth and mourn, you priests! Wail, you ministers of the altar. Come, lie all night in sackcloth, you ministers of my God {The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."}, for the meal offering and the drink offering are withheld from your God's house.

web@Joel:1:14 @ Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of Yahweh, your God, and cry to Yahweh.

web@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is at hand, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

web@Joel:1:16 @ Isn't the food cut off before our eyes; joy and gladness from the house of our God?

web@Joel:1:17 @ The seeds rot under their clods. The granaries are laid desolate. The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered.

web@Joel:1:18 @ How the animals groan! The herds of livestock are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

web@Joel:1:19 @ Yahweh, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.

web@Joel:1:20 @ Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, for the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
