<06974> (8685)_,

ye drunkards

all ye drinkers
<08354> (8802)

of wine
<03196>_,

because of the new wine

For a nation
<01471>

is come up
<05927> (8804)

upon my land
<0776>_,

strong
<06099>_,

and without number
<04557>_,

whose teeth
<08127>

[are] the teeth
<08127>

of a lion
<0738>_,

and he hath the cheek teeth
<04973>

of a great lion
<03833>_.

He hath laid
<07760> (8804)

my vine
<01612>

waste
<08047>_,

and barked
<07111>

my fig tree
<08384>_:

he hath made it clean
<02834> (8800)

bare
<02834> (8804)_,

and cast [it] away
<07993> (8689)_;

the branches
<08299>

thereof are made white
<03835> (8689)_.

{barked...: Heb. laid my fig tree for a barking}

1:8

Lament
<0421> (8798)

like a virgin
<01330>

girded
<02296> (8803)

with sackcloth
<08242>

for the husband
<01167>

of her youth
<05271>_.

The meat offering
<04503>

and the drink offering
<05262>

is cut off
<03772> (8717)

<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>_;

the priests
<03548>_,

the LORD'S
<03068>

ministers
<08334> (8764)_,

mourn
<056> (8804)_.

1:10

The field
<07704>

is wasted
<07703> (8795)_,

the land
<0127>

mourneth
<056> (8804)_;

for the corn
<01715>

is wasted
<07703> (8795)_:

the new wine
<08492>

is dried up
<03001> (8689)_,

the oil
<03323>

languisheth
<0535> (8797)_.

1:11

Be ye ashamed
<03001> (8685)_,

O ye husbandmen
<0406>_;

howl
<03213> (8685)_,

O ye vinedressers
<03755>_,

for the wheat
<02406>

and for the barley
<08184>_;

because the harvest
<07105>

of the field
<07704>

is perished
<06> (8804)_.

1:12

The vine
<01612>

is dried up
<03001> (8689)_,

and the fig tree
<08384>

languisheth
<0535> (8797)_;

the pomegranate
<07416>

tree, the palm tree
<08558>

also, and the apple tree
<08598>_,

[even] all the trees
<06086>

of the field
<07704>_,

are withered
<03001> (8804)_:

because joy
<08342>

is withered away
<03001> (8689)

from the sons
<01121>

of men
<0120>_.

1:13

Gird
<02296> (8798)

yourselves, and lament
<05594> (8798)_,

ye priests
<03548>_:

howl
<03213> (8685)_,

ye ministers
<08334> (8764)

of the altar
<04196>_:

come
<0935> (8798)_,

lie all night
<03885> (8798)

in sackcloth
<08242>_,

ye ministers
<08334> (8764)

of my God
<0430>_:

for the meat offering
<04503>

and the drink offering
<05262>

is withholden
<04513> (8738)

from the house
<01004>

of your God
<0430>_.

1:14

Sanctify
<06942> (8761)

ye a fast
<06685>_,

call
<07121> (8798)

a solemn assembly
<06116>_,

gather
<0622> (8798)

the elders
<02205>

[and] all the inhabitants
<03427> (8802)

of the land
<0776>

[into] the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

your God
<0430>_,

and cry
<02199> (8798)

unto the LORD
<03068>_,

{solemn...: or, day of restraint}

1:15

Alas
<0162>

for the day
<03117>_!

for the day
<03117>

of the LORD
<03068>

[is] at hand
<07138>_,

and as a destruction
<07701>

from the Almighty
<07706>

shall it come
<0935> (8799)_.

1:16

Is not the meat
<0400>

cut off
<03772> (8738)

before our eyes
<05869>_,

[yea], joy
<08057>

and gladness
<01524>

from the house
<01004>

of our God
<0430>_?

1:17

The seed
<06507>

is rotten
<05685> (8804)

under their clods
<04053>_,

the garners
<0214>

are laid desolate
<08074> (8738)_,

the barns
<04460>

are broken down
<02040> (8738)_;

for the corn
<01715>

is withered
<03001> (8689)_.

{seed: Heb. grains}

1:18

How do the beasts
<0929>

groan
<0584> (8737)_!

the herds
<05739>

of cattle
<01241>

are perplexed
<0943> (8738)_,

because they have no pasture
<04829>_;

yea, the flocks
<05739>

of sheep
<06629>

are made desolate
<0816> (8738)_.

1:19

O LORD
<03068>_,

to thee will I cry
<07121> (8799)_:

for the fire
<0784>

hath devoured
<0398> (8804)

the pastures
<04999>

of the wilderness
<04057>_,

and the flame
<03852>

hath burned
<03857> (8765)

all the trees
<06086>

of the field
<07704>_.

{pastures: or, habitations}
