Joël 1:18 Meaning and Commentary

Joel 1:18

How do the beasts groan?
&c.] For want of fodder, all green grass and herbs being eaten up by the locusts; or devoured, or trampled upon, and destroyed, by the Chaldeans; and also for want of water to quench their thirst: the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture;
the larger cattle, as oxen; these were in the utmost perplexity, not knowing where to go for food or drink: yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate;
which have shepherds to lead and direct them to pastures, and can feed on commons, where the grass is short, which other cattle cannot; yet even these were in great distress, and wasted away, and were consumed for want of nourishment.

Joël 1:18 In-Context

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 bĂȘtes gĂ©missent! Les troupeaux de boeufs sont consternĂ©s, Parce qu'ils sont sans pĂąturage; Et mĂȘme les troupeaux de brebis sont en souffrance.
19 C'est vers toi que je crie, Î Eternel! Car le feu a dévoré les plaines du désert, Et la flamme a brûlé tous les arbres des champs.
20 Les bĂȘtes des champs crient aussi vers toi; Car les torrents sont Ă  sec, Et le feu a dĂ©vorĂ© les plaines du dĂ©sert.
