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?

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

¹⁶ By the opening of your hand, every living thing has its desire in full measure.
