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

牲畜哀鸣；牛群混乱，因为无草；羊群也受了困苦。

牲畜哀鸣，牛群混乱，因无草场，羊群也受苦。

牲畜哀鸣，牛群混乱，因无草场，羊群也受苦。

牲畜哀鸣，牛群因找不到草场而四处乱窜，羊群也受苦。

牲畜发出哀鸣，牛群到处流荡，因为没有草场给它们，羊群也同样受苦。

牲畜哀鳴；牛羣混亂，因為無草；羊羣也受了困苦。

牲畜哀鳴，牛羣混亂，因無草場，羊羣也受苦。

牲畜哀鳴，牛羣混亂，因無草場，羊羣也受苦。

牲畜哀鳴，牛群因找不到草場而四處亂竄，羊群也受苦。

牲畜發出哀鳴，牛群到處流蕩，因為沒有草場給牠們，羊群也同樣受苦。

牲口哀鳴着，牛羣滿處亂竄，因為找不到草場；羊羣也餓得發獃。

牲畜哀鳴、牛羣以無草而散亂、羊羣亦皆困苦、

六畜無苑、宛轉哀鳴、群羊皆斃、

牲畜哀鳴、群牛散亂、因牧場無草、群羊皆斃、皆斃或作困憊

How long will the land be thirsty for water? How long will the grass in every field be dry? The people who live in the land are evil. So the animals and birds have died. And that’s not all. The people are saying,“ The Lord won’t see what happens to us.”

That is why the land is drying up. All those who live in it are getting weaker and weaker. The wild animals and the birds in the sky are dying. So are the fish in the ocean.

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.”

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.”

Even the wild animals cry out to you for help. The streams of water have dried up. Fire has burned up the desert grasslands.

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.
