Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Girde your selues and lament, ye Priests: howle ye ministers of the altar: come, and lie all night in sackecloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meate offring, and the drinke offring is taken away from the house of your God. ¹⁴ Sanctifie you a fast: call a solemne assemblie: gather the Elders, and all the inhabitants of the land into the House of the Lord your God, and cry vnto the Lord, ¹⁵ Alas: for the day, for the day of the Lord is at hand, and it commeth as a destruction from the Almightie. ¹⁶ Is not the meate cut off before our eyes? and ioy, and gladnesse from the house of our God? ¹⁷ The seede is rotten vnder their cloddes: the garners are destroyed: the barnes are broken downe, for the corne is withered. ¹⁸ How did the beasts mourne! the herdes of cattel pine away, because they haue no pasture, and the flockes of sheepe are destroyed. ¹⁹ O Lord, to thee will I crie: for the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernesse, and the flame hath burnt vp all the trees of the fielde. ²⁰ The beasts of the fielde cry also vnto thee: for the riuers of waters are dried vp, and the fire hath deuoured the pastures of the wildernes.
