The Devastation by Locusts

¹⁶Is not the food cut off before our eyes, [yea], joy and gladness from the house of our God?

¹⁷The seeds rot under their clods; the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the grain is withered.

¹⁸How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

¹⁹O Jehovah, to thee do I cry; for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.

²⁰Yea, the beasts of the field pant unto thee; for the water brooks are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
