Joel 1:15-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 1
15Woe for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty. 16Has food not been cut off before our eyes, and Joy and rejoicing from the house of our God? 17The seeds have dried up under their shovels; The storehouses have become desolate, The grain silos are ruined, Because the grain has dried up. 18How the animals have groaned! The herds of cattle have wandered aimlessly Because there is no pasture for them; Even the flocks of sheep have suffered. 19To You, Lord, I cry out; For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field. 20Even the animals of the field pant for You; For the stream beds of water are dried up, And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.King James Version

Chapter 1
15Woe because of that day! For the day of the Lord is near and will come as devastation from the Almighty. 16Hasn’t the food been cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17The seeds lie shriveled in their casings. The storehouses are in ruin, and the granaries are broken down, because the grain has withered away. 18How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander in confusion since they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep and goats suffer punishment. 19I call to you, Lord, for fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness, and flames have devoured all the trees of the orchard. 20Even the wild animals cry out to you, for the river beds are dried up, and fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness.New Living Translation
16Our food disappears before our very eyes. No joyful celebrations are held in the house of our God.
17The seeds die in the parched ground, and the grain crops fail. The barns stand empty, and granaries are abandoned.
18How the animals moan with hunger! The herds of cattle wander about confused, because they have no pasture. The flocks of sheep and goats bleat in misery.
English Standard Version
Chapter 1
15Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes. 16Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17 The seed shrivels under the clods; the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are torn down because the grain has dried up. 18How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep suffer. 19To you, O Lord, I call. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burned all the trees of the field. 20Even the beasts of the field pant for you because the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.New International Version
Chapter 1
15Alas for that day! For the day of the Lord is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. 16Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes— joy and gladness from the house of our God? 17The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up.
18How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19To you, Lord, I call, for fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
20Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness.
