16. Is not the food cut offbefore our eyes, joy and gladnessfrom the house of our God?
17. The seed shrivels under the clods;the storehouses are desolate;the granaries are torn downbecause the grain has dried up.
18. How the beasts groan!The herds of cattle are perplexedbecause there is no pasture for them;even the flocks of sheep suffer.
19. To you, O Lord, I call. For fire has devouredthe pastures of the wilderness, and flame has burnedall the trees of the field.
20. Even the beasts of the field pant for youbecause the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devouredthe pastures of the wilderness.
