⁹ He giveth to the beast his food, `And' to the young ravens which cry.

⁴¹ Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, `And' wander for lack of food?

²⁷ These wait all for thee, That thou mayest give them their food in due season.

²⁸ Thou givest unto them, they gather; Thou openest thy hand, they are satisfied with good.

²⁶ Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value then they?

²⁵ Who giveth food to all flesh; For his lovingkindness `endureth' for ever.

¹⁵ The eyes of all wait for thee; And thou givest them their food in due season.

¹⁶ Thou openest thy hand, And satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

²⁴ Consider the ravens, that they sow not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value are ye than the birds!
