13Put onH2296 sackcloth and lamentH5594, O priestsH3548; wailH3213, O ministersH8334 of the altarH4196. ComeH935, spend the nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, O ministersH8334 of my GodH430, becauseH3588 the grainH4503 and drink offeringsH5262 are withheldH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.14ConsecrateH6942 a fastH6685; proclaimH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116! GatherH622 the eldersH2205 and allH3605 the residentsH3427 of the landH776 to the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, and cry outH2199 toH413 the LORDH3068.

15AlasH162 for the dayH3117!ForH3588 the DayH3117 of the LORDH3068 is nearH7138,and it will comeH935as destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706.116Has notH3808 the foodH400 been cut offH3772beforeH5048 our very eyesH5869—joyH8057 and gladnessH1524from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?17The seedsH6507 lie shriveledH5685 beneathH8478 the clodsH4053;the storehousesH214 are in ruinsH8074;the granariesH4460 are broken downH2040,forH3588 the grainH1715 has withered awayH3001.18HowH4100 the cattleH929 groanH584!The herdsH5739 H1241 wander in confusionH943becauseH3588 they have noH369 pastureH4829.EvenH1571 the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 are sufferingH816.

19To YouH413, O LORDH3068, I callH7121,forH3588 fireH784 has consumedH398 the openH4057 pasturesH4999and flamesH3852 have scorchedH3857 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.20EvenH1571 the beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 pantH6165 for YouH413,forH3588 the streamsH650 of waterH4325 have dried upH3001,and fireH784 has consumedH398 the openH4057 pasturesH4999.
