Joel 1:15-20
Woe because of that day! For the Day of the Lord is near and will come as devastation from the Almighty.Hasn’t the food been cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?The seeds lie shriveled in their casings. The storehouses are in ruin, and the granaries are broken down, because the grain has withered away.How the animals groan! The herds of cattle wander in confusion since they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.I call to You, Lord, for fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness, and flames have devoured all the trees of the countryside.Even the wild animals cry out to You, for the river beds are dried up, and fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness.

Jeremiah 14:2-6
Judah mourns; her gates languish. Her people are on the ground in mourning; Jerusalem’s cry rises up.Their nobles send their servants for water. They go to the cisterns; they find no water; their containers return empty. They are ashamed and humiliated; they cover their heads.The ground is cracked since no rain has fallen on the land. The farmers are ashamed; they cover their heads.Even the doe in the field gives birth and abandons her fawn since there is no grass.Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights panting for air like jackals. Their eyes fail because there are no green plants.
