Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests; wail, O ministers of the altar. Go in, pass the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! Because grain offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.Consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land to the house of the Lord your God, and cry out to the Lord.Alas for the day! For the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?The seed shrivels under the clods; the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are torn down because the grain has dried up.How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep suffer.To you, O Lord, I call. For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burned all the trees of the field.Even the beasts of the field pant for you because the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
