And wail, all you drinkers of wine,
Because of the new wine,
bFor it has been cut off from your mouth.
Strong, and without number;
bHis teeth are the teeth of a lion,
And he has the fangs of a1 fierce lion.
And1 ruined My fig tree;
He has stripped it bare and thrown it away;
Its branches are made white.
Have been cut off from the house of the Lord;
The priests bmourn, who minister to the Lord.
aThe land mourns;
For the grain is ruined,
bThe new wine is dried up,
The oil fails.
Wail, you vinedressers,
For the wheat and the barley;
Because the harvest of the field has perished.
And the fig tree has withered;
The pomegranate tree,
The palm tree also,
And the apple tree—
All the trees of the field are withered;
Surely bjoy has withered away from the sons of men.
Mourning for the Land
Wail, you who minister before the altar;
Come, lie all night in sackcloth,
You who minister to my God;
For the grain offering and the drink offering
Are withheld from the house of your God.
Call ba sacred assembly;
Gather the elders
And call the inhabitants of the land
Into the house of the Lord your God,
And cry out to the Lord.
