29:001:005 Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl,
all ye drinkers of
wine,
because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your
mouth.
29:001:006 For a nation is come up upon my land, strong,
and without
number,
whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the
cheek
teeth of a great lion.
29:001:007 He hath laid my vine waste, and barked
my fig tree: he hath
made
it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof
are
made
white.
29:001:008 Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth
for the husband of
her
youth.
29:001:009 The meat offering and the drink offering
is cut off from the
house
of the lord; the priests, the LORD’s ministers,
mourn.
29:001:010 The field is wasted, the land mourneth;
for the corn is
wasted:
the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth.
29:001:011 Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O
ye vinedressers, for
the
wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the
field
is
perished.
29:001:012 The vine is dried up, and the fig tree
languisheth; the
pomegranate
tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even
all
the trees of the field, are withered: because
joy is
withered
away from the sons of men.
29:001:013 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.
29:001:014 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,
29:001:015 Alas for the day! for the day of the lord
is at hand, and as a
destruction
from the Almighty shall it come.
29:001:016 Is not the meat cut off before our eyes,
yea, joy and gladness
from
the house of our God?
29:001:017 The seed is rotten under their clods, the
garners are laid
desolate,
the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered.
29:001:018 How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle
are perplexed,
because
they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are
made
desolate.
29:001:019 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.
29:001:020 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.
