Joel 1:18 in Context — Joel 1
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.
18 Comme les bêtes gémissent! Les troupeaux de bœufs sont consternés, Parce qu’ils sont sans pâturage; Et même les troupeaux de brebis sont en souffrance.
19 C’est vers toi que je crie, ô Éternel! Car le feu a dévoré les plaines du désert, Et la flamme a brûlé tous les arbres des champs.
20 Les bêtes des champs crient aussi vers toi; Car les torrents sont à sec, Et le feu a dévoré les plaines du désert.
