Joel 1:18

18 How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander about because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep are dazed. [a]

Joel 1:18 In-Context

16 Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed shrivels under the clods, the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are ruined because the grain has failed.
18 How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander about because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep are dazed.
19 To you, O Lord, I cry. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flames have burned all the trees of the field.
20 Even the wild animals cry to you because the watercourses are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
