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.
