16. Has not the food been cut off before our very eyes— joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17. The seeds are shriveled beneath the clods. The storehouses are in ruins, the granaries have been broken down, for the grain has dried up.
18. How the cattle moan! The herds mill about because they have no pasture; even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
19. To you, Lord, I call, for fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
20. Even the wild animals pant for you; the streams of water have dried up and fire has devoured the pastures in the wilderness.
