饑荒益甚、四方無糧、伊及與迦南地、因饑無不窮乏、

There was no food, however, in the whole region because the famine was severe; both Egypt and Canaan wasted away because of the famine.

But there wasn’t any food in the whole area. In fact, there wasn’t enough food anywhere. The people of Egypt and Canaan lost their strength because there wasn’t enough food to go around.

Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished by reason of the famine.

Meanwhile, the famine became so severe that all the food was used up, and people were starving throughout the lands of Egypt and Canaan.

But there was no food in the entire region, for the famine was very severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan were exhausted by the famine.

Now there was no food in all the land, because the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very sore, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan fainted by reason of the famine.

當時全埃及和迦南來了饑荒和大艱難的事；我們的祖宗找不着糧草。

誰是智慧人可以明白這事？永恆主的口向誰說過，使他可以傳說：遍地為甚麼滅沒、荒廢像野地，無人經過呢？

隨後又必起了七年的饑荒；在埃及地一切豐收必都被忘掉；饑荒必將這地滅盡了。在那後來的饑荒面前一比較，人便不覺得這地境內的豐收，因為那饑荒極重了。

田野毁壞，土地悲哀；因為五穀毁壞，新酒池令人失望，新油衰萎不繼。耕地的人很失望，修理葡萄園的哀號着，為了大麥小麥而悲哀；因為田間的莊稼都壞掉了。葡萄樹令人失望，無花果樹衰萎凋殘；石榴樹、及棕樹、蘋果樹、田野所有的樹木都枯乾了：唉，歡躍之樂也令人失望而不在人間了。

亞哈對俄巴底說：『你走遍這地，到所有的水泉旁、和所有的谿谷中，或者我們可以找到一些青草，把騾馬救活，免得將牲口剪滅掉了。』

夜間每到交更時分，你要起來喊求，在主面前傾心如水！你的孩童在各街頭受餓發昏，你要為他們的性命向主舉手禱告。永恆主啊，看吧！鑒察吧！看你向誰這樣加罰過！婦人哪能喫自己所生育的，喫自己撫弄的嬰孩呢？祭司和神言人哪可在主的聖所中被殺戮呢？

被刀刺死的比被饑荒餓死的還好，因為前者雖被刺傷，還可以喫田間的出產。

以下是永恆主的話、那傳與耶利米、論到荒災之事的：『猶大悲哀，她的城門衰敗，人都披上黑衣坐在地上哀悼；耶路撒冷的哀號聲直往上升。他們的貴顯人打發家僮去打水；家僮來到沼池邊，見沒有水，就空着器皿回來，失望狼狽，抱頭無言。耕種土地的驚慌失措，因為沒有霖雨在地上；耕地的人都失望，抱頭蒙羞。連田野間的母鹿也剛生產就撇棄，因為沒有青草。野驢站在無草木的高處上，好像野狗在喘氣；他們的眼都失明，因為沒有草喫。
