15 Alas for the day! for the day of the LORD is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. |
16 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? |
17 The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. |
18 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. |
19 O LORD, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. |
20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness. |
