15Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty. Hebrew Shaddai

16Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes— joy and gladness from the house of our God?

17The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The meaning of the Hebrew for this word is uncertain. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up.

18How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering.

19To you, LORD, I call, for fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness and flames have burned up all the trees of the field. 20Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness.
