Ahab had said to Obadiah,“ Go through the land. Go to all the valleys and springs of water. Maybe we can find some grass there. It will keep the horses and mules alive. Then we won’t have to kill any of our animals.”

Ahab had said to Obadiah,“ Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals.”

And Ahab said to Obadiah,“ Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, and not lose some of the animals.”

Ahab said to Obadiah,“ We must check every spring and valley in the land to see if we can find enough grass to save at least some of my horses and mules.”

Ahab said to Obadiah,“ Go throughout the land to every spring and to every wadi. Perhaps we’ll find grass so we can keep the horses and mules alive and not have to destroy any cattle.”

Then Ahab said to Obadiah,“ Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the river valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle.”

And Ahab had said to Obadiah,“ Go into the land to all the springs of water and to all the brooks; perhaps we may find grass to keep the horses and mules alive, so that we will not have to kill any livestock.”

And Ahab said unto Obadiah, Go through the land, unto all the fountains of water, and unto all the brooks: peradventure we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we lose not all the beasts.

Ahab told Obadiah,“ Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grazing areas so we can keep the horses and mules alive and not have to kill some of the animals.”

Ahab said to Obadiah,“ Go through the land, to all the springs of water, and to all the brooks. Perhaps we may find grass and save the horses and mules alive, that we not lose all the animals.”

Listen to the cattle groan! The herds wander around. They don’t have any grass to eat. The flocks of sheep are also suffering.

The created world was held back from fulfilling its purpose. But this was not the result of its own choice. It was planned that way by the one who held it back. God plannedto set the created world free. He didn’t want it to rot away. Instead, God wanted it to have the same freedom and glory that his children have.We know that all that God created has been groaning. It is in pain as if it were giving birth to a child. The created world continues to groan even now.

He makes grass grow for the cattle and plants for people to take care of. That’s how they get food from the earth.

Wild animals, don’t be afraid. The desert grasslands are turning green again. The trees are bearing their fruit. The vines and fig trees are producing rich crops.

The fig trees might not bud. The vines might not produce any grapes. The olive crop might fail. The fields might not produce any food. There might not be any sheep in the pens. There might not be any cattle in the barns.

Even the female deer in the fields desert their newborn fawns. There isn’t any grass to eat.Wild donkeys stand on the bare hilltops. They long for water as wild dogs do. Their eyesight fails because they do not have any food to eat.”
