16. Is not your food cut off before your eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17. The beasts have rotted in their dung, the barns are destroyed, the storehouses are broken down: because the corn is confounded.
18. Why did the beast groan, why did the herds of cattle low? because there is no pasture for them: yea, and the flocks of sheep are perished.
19. To thee, 0 Lord, will I cry: because fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness, and the flame hath burnt all the trees of the country.
20. Yea and the beasts of the field have looked up to thee, as a garden bed that thirsteth after rain, for the springs of waters are dried up, and fire hath devoured the beautiful places of the wilderness.
