- 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。

- Despair, you farmers, wail, you vine growers; grieve for the wheat and the barley, because the harvest of the field is destroyed.
- The vine is dried up and the fig tree is withered; the pomegranate, the palm and the apple tree-- all the trees of the field--are dried up. Surely the joy of mankind is withered away.
- Put on sackcloth, O priests, and mourn; wail, you who minister before the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who minister before my God; for the grain offerings and drink offerings are withheld from the house of your God.
- Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live in the land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.
- Alas for that day! For the day of the LORD is near; it will come like destruction from the Almighty.
