15. Alas for the day! For the day of יהוה is near, and it comes as destruction from the Almighty.
16. Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the House of our Elohim?
17. The seed has rotted under their clods, storehouses are laid waste, granaries are broken down, for the grain has withered.
18. How the beasts moan! The herds of cattle are restless, because they have no pasture. The flocks of sheep also perish.
19. I cry to You יהוה, for fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness, and a flame has set on fire all the trees of the field.
20. Even the beasts of the field cry out to You, for the water streams are dried up, and fire has consumed the pastures of the wilderness.
