²¹ And take thou unto thee of all food that is eaten, and thou shalt gather it to thee; and it shall be for food for thee, and for them.

²⁹ And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

³⁰ And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

⁴¹ Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

²⁰ Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

⁶ Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

²⁷ These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

²⁸ That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

²⁵ Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

¹⁶ Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

⁹ He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

²⁶ Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
