111BeH954 ashamedH954, you farmH406 workersH406, WailH3213, you vinedressersH3755, For the wheatH2406 and the barleyH8184; BecauseH3588 the 2harvestH7105 of the fieldH7704 is destroyedH6.12The 3vineH1612 has driedH3001 upH3001 And the figH8384 treeH8384 has witheredH535; The 4pomegranateH7416, the 5palmH8558 alsoH1571, and the 6appleH8598 treeH8598, AllH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704 have driedH3001 upH3001. IndeedH3588, 7joyH8342 has driedH3001 upH3001 From the sonsH1121 of mankindH120.

138PutH2296 onH2296 sackcloth And mournH5594, you priestsH3548; 9WailH3213, you ministersH8334 of the altarH4196! ComeH935, 10spendH3885 theH3885 nightH3885 in sackclothH8242, You ministersH8334 of my GodH430, For the grain offeringH4503 and the drinkH5262 offeringH5262 Have been withheldH4513 from the houseH1004 of your GodH430.1411ConsecrateH6942 a fastH6685, ProclaimH7121 a 12solemnH6116 assemblyH6116; GatherH622 the eldersH2205 And allH3605 the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 To the houseH1004 of the LordH3068 your GodH430, And 13cryH2199 outH2199 to the LordH3068.1514WoeH162 for the dayH3117! For the 15dayH3117 of the LordH3068 is nearH7138, And it will comeH935 as 16destructionH7701 from the 17AlmightyH7706.16Has 18foodH400 not been cutH3772 offH3772 beforeH5048 our eyesH5869, and JoyH8057 and 19rejoicingH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430?17The 2021seedsH6507 have driedH5685 up underH8478 their shovelsH4053; The storehousesH214 have becomeH8074 desolateH8074, The grainH4460 silosH4460 are ruinedH2040, BecauseH3588 the grainH1715 has driedH3001 upH3001.18HowH4100 22the animalsH929 have groanedH584! The herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 have wanderedH943 aimlesslyH943 BecauseH3588 thereH369 isH369 noH369 pastureH4829 for them; EvenH1571 the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 have 23sufferedH816.1924To You, LordH3068, I cryH7121 outH7121; For 25fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057, And the flameH3852 has burnedH3857 upH3857 allH3605 the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.20EvenH1571 the animalsH929 of the fieldH7704 2627pantH6165 for You; For the 28streamH650 bedsH650 of waterH4325 are driedH3001 upH3001, And fireH784 has devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
