17 The [a](A)seeds have dried up under their shovels;
The storehouses have become desolate,
The grain silos are ruined,
Because the grain has dried up.
18 How (B)the animals have groaned!
The herds of cattle have wandered aimlessly
Because there is no pasture for them;
Even the flocks of sheep have [b]suffered.
19 (C)To You, Lord, I cry out;
For (D)fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness,
And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.
