Read this passage and open each verse for the full verse feed and commentary tools.

14Consecrate a fast,

Proclaim 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.

15Woe for the day!

For the day of the Lord is near,

And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

16Has food not been cut off before our eyes, and

Joy and rejoicing from the house of our God?

17The seeds have dried up under their shovels;

The storehouses have become desolate,

The grain silos are ruined,

Because the grain has dried up.

18How the animals have groaned!

The herds of cattle have wandered aimlessly

Because there is no pasture for them;

Even the flocks of sheep have suffered.

19To You, Lord, I cry out;

For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness,

And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.

20Even the animals of the field pant for You;

For the stream beds of water are dried up,

And fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
