1:16 Our food has been cut off right before our eyes! 1
There is no longer any joy or gladness in the temple of our God! 2
1:18 Listen to the cattle groan! 3
The herds of livestock wander around in confusion 4
because they have no pasture.
Even the flocks of sheep are suffering.
1:19 To you, O Lord, I call out for help, 5
for fire 6 has burned up 7 the grassy pastures, 8
flames have razed 9 all the trees in the fields.
1:20 Even the wild animals 10 cry out to you; 11
for the river beds 12 have dried up;
fire has destroyed 13 the grassy pastures. 14
