Joel 1:16 in Context — Joel 1

14 Santificai um jejum; convocai uma reunião solene; congregai os anciãos e todos os moradores desta terra na casa do SENHOR vosso Deus, e clamai ao SENHOR.

15 Ai daquele dia! Porque perto está o dia do SENHOR, e virá do Todo-Poderoso como destruição.

16 Por acaso não foi tirado o alimento de diante de nossos olhos, a alegria e o prazer da casa de nosso Deus?

17 As sementes se apodreceram debaixo de seus torrões, os celeiros foram assolados, os depósitos foram derrubados; porque o trigo se secou.

18 Como geme o gado! As manadas dos vacas estão confusas, porque não têm pasto! Os rebanhos das ovelhas estão desolados.
