18 How the cattle moan!
    The herds mill about
because they have no pasture;(A)
    even the flocks of sheep are suffering.(B)

19 To you, Lord, I call,(C)
    for fire(D) has devoured the pastures(E) in the wilderness
    and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
20 Even the wild animals pant for you;(F)
    the streams of water have dried up(G)
    and fire has devoured the pastures(H) in the wilderness.

20 The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

The herds of cattle are restless,
Because they have no pasture;

For (E)the water brooks are dried up,
And fire has devoured the [c]open pastures.
