Joel 1:15-17

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁵ Be sad because the Lord’s special day is near. At that time punishment will come like an attack from God All-Powerful. ¹⁶ Our food is gone. Joy and happiness are gone from the Temple of our God. ¹⁷ We planted seeds, but the seeds became dry and dead lying in the soil. Our plants are dry and dead. Our barns are empty and falling down.
