³⁰ and to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heavens, and to every creeping thing on the earth, in which `is' breath of life, every green herb `is' for food:' and it is so.

⁹ Giving to the beast its food, To the young of the ravens that call.

¹⁵ The eyes of all unto Thee do look, And Thou art giving to them their food in its season,

¹⁶ Opening Thy hand, and satisfying The desire of every living thing.

¹⁴ Causing grass to spring up for cattle, And herb for the service of man, To bring forth bread from the earth,

²⁰ For food do mountains bear for him, And all the beasts of the field play there.

³⁹ Dost thou hunt for a lion prey? And the desire of young lions fulfil?

⁴⁰ When they bow down in dens -- Abide in a thicket for a covert?

⁴¹ Who doth prepare for a raven his provision, When his young ones cry unto God? They wander without food.

³ Every creeping thing that is alive, to you it is for food; as the green herb I have given to you the whole;

¹⁵ Lo, I pray thee, Behemoth, that I made with thee: Grass as an ox he eateth.

³⁰ And his brood gulph up blood, And where the pierced `are' -- there `is' he!

⁸ The range of mountains `is' his pasture, And after every green thing he seeketh.

⁴ Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
