16 Is not the food (A)cut off before our eyes,
(B)Joy and gladness from the house of our God?
17 The seed shrivels under the clods,
Storehouses are in shambles;
Barns are broken down,
For the grain has withered.
18 How (C)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, (D)to You I cry out;
For (E)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 (F)cry out to You,
For (G)the water brooks are dried up,
And fire has devoured the [c]open pastures.
