“I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the Lord.”
The reference to striking Israel with blight and mildew and locusts eating the gardens and vineyards indicates agricultural devastation. The failure of the harvest represents judgment through the normal processes of agriculture.
