The very same thing is happening today. In verse 3, God said that because of the sins of the people, the land would mourn. He said that even the fish would be taken out of the sea. Never before in the course of our history has the economy been what it is today in a lot of places.
In some places even the fish are gone out of the sea. It's about time that we stop taking the blessings of God for granted and acknowledge Him for who He really is. He is the one who holds the very breath that we breathe in the palm of His hands. Never underestimate the power of our God and always give Him the glory that's due Him for how He provides for us and meets our needs.
