15 1Alas for the day! For the 2day of the LORD is near, And it will come as 3destruction from the [a]Almighty.

Joel 1:15 In-Context

13 Gird yourselves with sackcloth And lament, O priests; Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, spend the night in sackcloth O ministers of my God, For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.
14 Consecrate a fast, Proclaim a solemn assembly; Gather the elders And all the inhabitants of the land To the house of the LORD your God, And cry out to the LORD .
15 Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.
16 Has not food been cut off before our eyes, Gladness and joy from the house of our God?
17 The seeds shrivel under their clods; The storehouses are desolate, The barns are torn down, For the grain is dried up.
