Joel 1:13-18

13GirdH2296 yourselvesH2296with sackclothH8242, and lamentH5594, ye priestsH3548; wailH3213, ye ministers of the altarH4196; comeH935, lie all night in sackclothH8242, ye ministers of my GodH430: for the meal-offering and the drink-offering are withholden from the houseH1004 of your GodH430. 14SanctifyH6942 a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemnH6116 assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the oldH2205 menH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 unto the houseH1004 of Jehovah your GodH430, and cryH2199 unto Jehovah.

15AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of Jehovah is at hand, and as destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935. 16Is not the foodH400 cutH3772 off before our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH8057 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430? 17The seeds rot under their clods; the garners are laid desolateH8074, the barns are brokenH2040 downH2040; for the grainH1715 is witheredH3001. 18HowH4100 do the beasts groanH584! the herdsH1241 of cattleH929 are perplexed, because they have no pastureH4829; yea, the flocksH6629 of sheepH6629 are made desolate.
