So that

and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land.

Then Ahab said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle.”

That which came as the word of the Lord to Jeremiah in regard to the drought:

“Arise, cry aloud in the night
At the beginning of the night watches;

Pour out your heart like water

Before the presence of the Lord;
Lift up your hands to Him
For the life of your little ones
Who are faint because of hunger
At the head of every street.”

Better are those

slain with the sword

Than those slain with hunger;
For they

pine away, being stricken

For lack of the fruits of the field.

“Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction with it, and our fathers could find no food.

Fainted

Who is the wise man that may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the Lord has spoken, that he may declare it? Why is the land ruined, laid waste like a desert, so that no one passes through?

The field is ruined,

The land mourns;

For the grain is ruined,
The new wine dries up,
Fresh oil fails.
