¹⁷ The seeds are shriveled
    beneath the clods.^[a](A)
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;^(B)
    even the flocks of sheep are suffering.^(C)

¹⁹ To you, Lord, I call,^(D)
    for fire^(E) has devoured the pastures^(F) in the wilderness
    and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
