Joel 1:17

Sanctify a fast.

Call a solemn assembly.

Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the LORD, your God,

and cry to the LORD.

Alas for the day!

For the day of the LORD is at hand,

and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

Isn’t the food cut off before our eyes,

joy and gladness from the house of our God?

How the animals groan!

The herds of livestock are perplexed, because they have no pasture.

Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

LORD, 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.

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.
