Even wild animals long for you. Streams run dry. Fire has burned up the open pastures.
But after some time the stream dried up because no rain had fallen in the land.
Ahab told Obadiah, “Let’s go throughout the countryside to every spring and stream. If we can find grass, then we can keep the horses and mules alive and not lose any animals.”
“Who provides food for the crow when its young ones cry to God and wander around in need of food?
The young lions roar for their prey and seek their food from God.
The eyes of all creatures look to you, and you give them their food at the proper time.
He is the one who gives food to animals and to young ravens when they call out.
The ground is cracked because there has been no rain in the land. The farmers are disappointed. They cover their heads.
Long ago, the prophets who preceded you and me prophesied wars, disasters, and plagues against many countries and great kingdoms.
The animals groan. Herds of cattle wander around confused. There’s no pasture for them. Even flocks of sheep are suffering.
