These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.
-
Psalms 145:15-16
The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

Luke 12:24-28
Consider the ravens: they don’t sow, they don’t reap, they have no warehouse or barn, and God feeds them. How much more valuable are you than birds!Which of you by being anxious can add a cubit to his height?If then you aren’t able to do even the least things, why are you anxious about the rest?Consider the lilies, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin; yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.But if this is how God clothes the grass in the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is cast into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith?

Deuteronomy 5:14
but the seventh day is a Sabbath to Yahweh your God, in which you shall not do any work— neither you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
-
Psalms 147:8-9
who covers the sky with clouds, who prepares rain for the earth, who makes grass grow on the mountains.He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.
-
Matthew 6:26-30
See the birds of the sky, that they don’t sow, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns. Your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you of much more value than they?“ Which of you, by being anxious, can add one moment to his lifespan?Why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They don’t toil, neither do they spin,yet I tell you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these.But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today exists, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, won’t he much more clothe you, you of little faith?

Deuteronomy 22:1-4
You shall not see your brother’s ox or his sheep go astray and hide yourself from them. You shall surely bring them again to your brother.If your brother isn’t near to you, or if you don’t know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother comes looking for it, and you shall restore it to him.So you shall do with his donkey. So you shall do with his garment. So you shall do with every lost thing of your brother’s, which he has lost and you have found. You may not hide yourself.You shall not see your brother’s donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them. You shall surely help him to lift them up again.

Numbers 22:28-35
Yahweh opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam,“ What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?”Balaam said to the donkey,“ Because you have mocked me, I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would have killed you.”The donkey said to Balaam,“ Am I not your donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long until today? Was I ever in the habit of doing so to you?” He said,“ No.”Then Yahweh opened the eyes of Balaam, and he saw Yahweh’s angel standing in the way, with his sword drawn in his hand; and he bowed his head, and fell on his face.Yahweh’s angel said to him,“ Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way is perverse before me.The donkey saw me, and turned away before me these three times. Unless she had turned away from me, surely now I would have killed you, and saved her alive.”Balaam said to Yahweh’s angel,“ I have sinned; for I didn’t know that you stood in the way against me. Now therefore, if it displeases you, I will go back again.”Yahweh’s angel said to Balaam,“ Go with the men; but only the word that I shall speak to you, that you shall speak.” So Balaam went with the princes of Balak.

Jonah 4:11
Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”
