He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

Yea, the hind also calved in the field, and forsook it, because there was no grass.

And the wild donkeys did stand in the high places, they sniffed at the wind like jackals; their eyes did fail, because there was no grass.

How the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

Be not afraid, you beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring up, for the tree bears her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be on the vines; the labor of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no food; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls:

For the creation was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who has subjected the same in hope,

For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.
