THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE

Joel 1:19 in context

Joel 1:16–20

Isn’t the food cut off before our eyes,

joy and gladness from the house of our God?

The seeds rot under their clods.

The granaries are laid desolate.

The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered.

How the animals groan!

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

Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

Selected verse

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.
