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).
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>?

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>.
20 The beasts <0929> of the field <07704> cry <06165> (8799) also unto thee: for the rivers <0650> of waters <04325> are dried up <03001> (8804), and the fire <0784> hath devoured <0398> (8804) the pastures <04999> of the wilderness <04057>.
