Joel 1:15 in Context — Joel 1

13 Sacrificateurs, ceignez-vous et pleurez! Lamentez-vous, serviteurs de l’autel! Venez, passez la nuit revêtus de sacs, Serviteurs de mon Dieu! Car offrandes et libations ont disparu de la maison de votre Dieu.

14 Publiez un jeûne, une convocation solennelle! Assemblez les vieillards, tous les habitants du pays, Dans la maison de l’Éternel, votre Dieu, Et criez à l’Éternel!

15 Ah! Quel jour! Car le jour de l’Éternel est proche: Il vient comme un ravage du Tout-Puissant.

16 La nourriture n’est-elle pas enlevée sous nos yeux? La joie et l’allégresse n’ont-elles pas disparu de la maison de notre Dieu?

17 Les semences ont séché sous les mottes; Les greniers sont vides, Les magasins sont en ruines, Car il n’y a point de blé.
