¹⁵ The eyes of all men are waiting for you; and you give them their food in its time.

²⁷ All of them are waiting for you, to give them their food in its time.

²⁵ Who gives food to all flesh: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

²⁵ And he is not dependent on the work of men's hands, as if he had need of anything, for he himself gives to all life and breath and all things;

⁸ By his hand the heaven is covered with clouds and rain is stored up for the earth; he makes the grass tall on the mountains.

⁹ He gives food to every beast, and to the young ravens in answer to their cry.

²⁴ Give thought to the ravens; they do not put seeds into the earth, or get together grain; they have no store-houses or buildings; and God gives them their food: of how much greater value are you than the birds!

²⁶ See the birds of heaven; they do not put seeds in the earth, they do not get in grain, or put it in store-houses; and your Father in heaven gives them food. Are you not of much more value than they?

⁹ The Lord is good to all men; and his mercies are over all his works.

²¹ The young lions go thundering after their food; searching for their meat from God.

³⁰ And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and every living thing moving on the face of the earth I have given every green plant for food: and it was so.

²² Have no fear, you beasts of the field, for the grass-lands of the waste are becoming green, for the trees are producing fruit, the fig-tree and the vine give out their strength.
