*
Gird yourselves ,
and lament ,
ye priests :
howl ,
ye ministers of the altar :
come ,
lie all night in sackcloth ,
ye ministers of my God :
for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God .
*
Sanctify ye a fast ,
call a solemn assembly ,
gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God ,
and cry unto the LORD ,
*
Alas for the day !
for the day of the LORD is at hand ,
and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come .
*
Is not the meat cut off before our eyes ,
yea ,
joy and gladness from the house of our God ?
*
The seed is rotten under their clods ,
the garners are laid desolate ,
the barns are broken down ;
for the corn is withered .
*
How do the beasts groan !
the herds of cattle are perplexed ,
because they have no pasture ;
yea ,
the flocks of sheep are made desolate .
*
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 .
*
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 .
