II] :And cry unto the Lord,
 * Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand,
 * And as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come.
 * Is not the meat cut off before our eyes,
 * Yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
 * The seed is rotten under their clods,
 * The garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down;
 * For the corn is withered.
 * How do the beasts groan!
 * The herds of cattle are perplexed,
 * Because they have no pasture;
 * Yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.
 * O Lord, to thee will I cry:
 * For the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness,
 * And the flame hath burned all the trees of the field.
 * The beasts of the field cry also unto thee:
 * For the rivers of waters are dried up,
 * And the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.


 * ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:
 * Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble:
 * For the day of the Lord cometh, for it is nigh at hand;
