How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole country wither? for the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said, He shall not see our latter end.
Hou long schal þe erþe mourne, and ech eerbe of þe feeld schal be dried, for þe malice of hem þat dwellen þer ynne? A beeste is wastid, and a brid, for þei seiden, Þe Lord schal not se oure laste thingis.
