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

19 To you, (D)O Lord, I call.
(E)For fire has devoured
    the pastures of the wilderness,
(F)and flame has burned
    all the trees of the field.
