The Lord Raises Up Judges
16 (A)Then the Lord raised up judges, (B)who saved them out of the hand of those who plundered them. 17 Yet they did not listen to their judges, for (C)they whored after other gods and bowed down to them. (D)They soon turned aside from the way in which their fathers had walked, who had obeyed the commandments of the Lord, and they did not do so. 18 Whenever the Lord raised up judges for them, (E)the Lord was with the judge, and he saved them from the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge. (F)For the Lord was moved to pity by (G)their groaning because of those who afflicted and oppressed them.

the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are torn down
because (C)the grain has dried up.
18 How (D)the beasts groan!
The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
even the flocks of sheep suffer.[b]
19 To you, (E)O Lord, I call.
(F)For fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness,
(G)and flame has burned
all the trees of the field.

because the water brooks are dried up,
(I)and fire has devoured
the pastures of the wilderness.
