¹⁹ To you, Lord, I call,^(A)
    for fire^(B) has devoured the pastures^(C) in the wilderness
    and flames have burned up all the trees of the field.
²⁰ Even the wild animals pant for you;^(D)
    the streams of water have dried up^(E)
    and fire has devoured the pastures^(F) in the wilderness.

³ Before them fire^(A) devours,
    behind them a flame blazes.
Before them the land is like the garden of Eden,^(B)
    behind them, a desert waste^(C)—
    nothing escapes them.

²²     Do not be afraid, you wild animals,
    for the pastures in the wilderness are becoming green.^(A)
The trees are bearing their fruit;
    the fig tree^(B) and the vine^(C) yield their riches.^(D)

¹⁹ But Egypt^(A) will be desolate,
    Edom^(B) a desert waste,
because of violence^(C) done to the people of Judah,
    in whose land they shed innocent blood.
