14SanctifyH6942 ye a fastH6685, callH7121 a solemn assemblyH6116, gatherH622 the eldersH2205 and all the inhabitantsH3427 of the landH776 into the houseH1004 of YhwhH3068 your GodH430, and cryH2199 unto YhwhH3068,1 15AlasH162 for the dayH3117! for the dayH3117 of YhwhH3068 is at handH7138, and as a destructionH7701 from the AlmightyH7706 shall it comeH935. 16Is not the meatH400 cut offH3772 before our eyesH5869, yea, joyH8057 and gladnessH1524 from the houseH1004 of our GodH430? 17The seedH6507 is rottenH5685 under their clodsH4053, the garnersH214 are laid desolateH8074, the barnsH4460 are broken downH2040; for the grainH1715 is witheredH3001.2 18How do the beastsH929 groanH584! the herdsH5739 of cattleH1241 are perplexedH943, because they have no pastureH4829; yea, the flocksH5739 of sheepH6629 are made desolateH816. 19O YhwhH3068, to thee will I cryH7121: for the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057, and the flameH3852 hath burnedH3857 all the treesH6086 of the fieldH7704.3 20The beastsH929 of the fieldH7704 cryH6165 also unto thee: for the riversH650 of watersH4325 are dried upH3001, and the fireH784 hath devouredH398 the pasturesH4999 of the wildernessH4057.
