17 The seed shrivels under the clods,
Storehouses are in shambles;
Barns are broken down,
For the grain has withered.
18 How (A)the animals groan!
The herds of cattle are restless,
Because they have no pasture;
Even the flocks of sheep [a]suffer punishment.

19 O Lord, (B)to You I cry out;
For (C)fire has devoured the [b]open pastures,
And a flame has burned all the trees of the field.
20 The beasts of the field also (D)cry out to You,
For (E)the water brooks are dried up,
And fire has devoured the [c]open pastures.

  1. Jeremiah 48:33 cease

“Judah mourns,
And (A)her gates languish;
They (B)mourn for the land,
And (C)the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.
Their nobles have sent their lads for water;
They went to the cisterns and found no water.
They returned with their vessels empty;
They were (D)ashamed and confounded
(E)And covered their heads.
Because the ground is parched,
For there was (F)no rain in the land,
The plowmen were ashamed;
They covered their heads.
Yes, the deer also gave birth in the field,
But [a]left because there was no grass.
And (G)the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
