16 Is not the food cut off
    before our eyes,
(A)joy and gladness
    from the house of our God?

17 (B)The seed shrivels under the clods;[a]
    the storehouses are desolate;
the granaries are torn down
    because (C)the grain has dried up.
18 How (D)the beasts groan!
    The herds of cattle are perplexed
because there is no pasture for them;
    even the flocks of sheep suffer.[b]
