The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

Es schrieen auch die wilden Tiere zu dir; denn die Wasserbäche sind ausgetrocknet, und das Feuer hat die Auen in der Wüste verbrannt.
Las bestias del campo bramarán también a ti; porque se secaron los arroyos de las aguas, y fuego consumió las praderías del desierto.
También las bestias del campo braman por ti, porque se han secado los cauces de agua y el fuego ha consumido los pastos del desierto.
Les bêtes des champs crient aussi vers toi; Car les torrents sont à sec, Et le feu a dévoré les plaines du désert.
Anche le bestie della campagna hanno agognato dietro a te; perciocchè i rivi delle acque son seccati, e il fuoco ha consumati i paschi del deserto
Também todos os animais do campo bramam a ti; porque as correntes de água se secaram, e o fogo consumiu os pastos do deserto.
田野的走獸切慕你, 因為溪水乾涸, 火吞噬了野地的草場。
