⁵ Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?

¹ > As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants after you, God.

¹⁴ He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, And plants for man to cultivate, That he may bring forth food out of the earth:

⁶ The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights, they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail, because there is no herbage.

¹⁸ How the animals groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

¹⁹ Yahweh, I cry to you, For the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness, And the flame has burned all the trees of the field.

²⁰ Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, For the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
