16. Food disappears right before our eyes.Happiness and rejoicing disappear from our God’s temple.
17. Seeds shrivel up in their shells.Storehouses are destroyed.Barns are ruined.The grain has dried up.
18. The animals groan.Herds of cattle wander around confused.There’s no pasture for them.Even flocks of sheep are suffering.
19. O Lord, I cry to you for help!Fire has burned up the open pastures.Flames have burned up all the trees in the orchards.
20. Even wild animals long for you.Streams run dry.Fire has burned up the open pastures.
