Withina yearand [a few] daysYou will be troubled,O complacent[daughters]; For the vintageis ended,[And] the [fruit] gatheringwill not come.
Gladnessand joyare takenawayfrom the fruitfulfield;In the vineyardsalso there will be nocriesof joyor jubilantshouting,Notreadertreadsout winein the presses,[For] I have made the shoutingto cease.
And it will comeabout in that day,that everyplacewherethere used to be a thousandvines,[valued] at a thousand[shekels] of silver,will becomebriarsand thorns.
"I will surelysnatchthem away,"declaresthe LORD;"Therewill be nograpeson the vineAnd nofigson the figtree,And the leafwill wither;And what I have giventhem will passaway."'"
"I will destroyher vinesand figtrees,Of whichshe said,'Theseare my wagesWhichmy lovershave givenme.' And I will makethem a forest,And the beastsof the fieldwill devourthem.
For the sonsof Israelwill remainfor manydayswithoutkingor prince,withoutsacrificeor [sacred] pillarand withoutephodor householdidols.
The vinedriesup And the figtreefails;The pomegranate,the palmalso,and the appletree,Allthe treesof the fielddryup. Indeed,rejoicingdriesup From the sonsof men.
Awake,drunkards,and weep;And wail,allyou winedrinkers,On accountof the sweetwineThat is cutofffrom your mouth.
It has mademy vinea wasteAnd my figtreesplinters.It has strippedthem bareand cast[them] away;Their brancheshave becomewhite.
Thoughthe figtreeshould not blossomAnd therebe nofruiton the vines,[Though] the yieldof the oliveshould failAnd the fieldsproducenofood,Though the flockshould be cutofffrom the foldAnd therebe nocattlein the stalls,
"Moreover, their wealthwill becomeplunderAnd their housesdesolate;Yes, they will buildhousesbut not inhabit[them], And plantvineyardsbut not drinktheir wine."
