- Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished.
- The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
- Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God.
- Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the LORD your God, 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.

- 農夫阿、你們要慚愧、修理葡萄園的阿、你們要哀號、因為大麥小麥與田間的莊稼都滅絕了。
- 葡萄樹枯乾、無花果樹衰殘。石榴樹、棕樹、蘋果樹、連田野一切的樹木也都枯乾.眾人的喜樂盡都消滅。
- 祭司阿、你們當腰束麻布痛哭.伺候祭壇的阿、你們要哀號.事奉我 神的阿、你們要來披上麻布過夜.因為素祭、和奠祭、從你們 神的殿中斷絕了。
- 你們要分定禁食的日子、宣告嚴肅會、招聚長老、和國中的一切居民、到耶和華你們 神的殿、向耶和華哀求。
- 哀哉、耶和華的日子臨近了.這日來到、好像毀滅從全能者來到。
