17. The grains of seed have shriveled beneath their shovels.Storehouses have been decimatedand granaries have been torn down, for the grain has dried up.
18. Listen to the cattle groan!The herds of livestock wander around in confusionbecause they have no pasture.Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19. To you, O Lord, I call out for help,for fire has burned up the grassy pastures,flames have razed all the trees in the fields.
20. Even the wild animals cry out to you;for the river beds have dried up;fire has destroyed the grassy pastures.
