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

Yea, the doe also gave birth in the field and abandoned it, because there was no grass.

And the wild asses stood in the high places; they sniffed at the wind like dragons; their eyes failed because there was no grass.

How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.

Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness grow green, for the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the work of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food; the flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls,

For the creation was subjected to vanity, not willingly, but through Him who subjected it in hope;

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