17 The grain shrivels under the shovels;[a]
    the barns are empty.
The granaries are in ruin
    because the grain has dried up.
18 How the animals groan!
    Herds of cattle are in distress
        because there is no pasture for them;
    even the flocks of sheep pant.

    for fire has completely destroyed
        the pastures of the wilderness;
    and flames have burned
        all the trees of the field.
