17 The seed shrivels under the clods,[a]
    the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are ruined
    because the grain has failed.
18 How the animals groan!
    The herds of cattle wander about
because there is no pasture for them;
    even the flocks of sheep are dazed.[b]

For fire has devoured
    the pastures of the wilderness,
and flames have burned
    all the trees of the field.
