¹⁸ How the beasts^[a] groan;
    the herds of cattle wander around
because there is no pasture for them;
    the flocks of sheep are in distress.
¹⁹ To you, O Yahweh, I cry out,
because fire has devoured
    the pastures of the desert,
and flames^[b] burned
    all the trees of the field.
²⁰ Also, the beasts of the field
    long for you,
because the courses of water
    are dried up,
and fire has devoured
    the pastures of the desert.
