“ Then a famine struck all Egypt and Canaan, bringing great suffering, and our ancestors could not find food.

Who is wise enough to understand this? Who has been instructed by the Lord and can explain it? Why has the land been ruined and laid waste like a desert that no one can cross?

but seven years of famine will follow them. Then all the abundance in Egypt will be forgotten, and the famine will ravage the land.The abundance in the land will not be remembered, because the famine that follows it will be so severe.

The fields are ruined, the ground is dried up; the grain is destroyed, the new wine is dried up, the olive oil fails.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 people’s joy is withered away.

Lift up your hands to him for the lives of your children, who faint from hunger at every street corner.“ Look, Lord, and consider: Whom have you ever treated like this? Should women eat their offspring, the children they have cared for? Should priest and prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?
