Joel 1:20
18 How the cattle groan! The herds wander in confusion because they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19 To You, O LORD, I call, for fire has consumed the open pastures and flames have scorched all the trees of the field.
Even the beasts of the field pant for You, for the streams of water have dried up, and fire has consumed the open pastures.
Dette ble sagt til Israel i en bestemt tid, så det er lurt å lese det sammen med teksten rundt. Les gjerne versene rundt også, for sammenhengen gir ofte mer enn ett vers alene.
