Job 38:39

“I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you.

For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.

The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God.

The righteous one eats to the satisfying of his soul, but the belly of the wicked goes hungry.

For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

Give us today our daily bread.

Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, for the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

“Acquaint yourself with him, now, and be at peace. By it, good will come to you.

For the Gentiles seek after all these things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things.

He has filled the hungry with good things. He has sent the rich away empty.

Be sober and self-controlled. Be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, walks around like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

Judah is a lion’s cub. From the prey, my son, you have gone up. He stooped down, he crouched as a lion, as a lioness. Who will rouse him up?

Behold, a people rises up as a lioness. As a lion he lifts himself up. He shall not lie down until he eats of the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.”

He couched, he lay down as a lion, as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? Everyone who blesses you is blessed. Everyone who curses you is cursed.”

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread. Those who were hungry are satisfied. Yes, the barren has borne seven. She who has many children languishes.

He lay down and slept under a juniper tree; and behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, “Arise and eat!”

“Yes, forty years you sustained them in the wilderness. They lacked nothing. Their clothes didn’t grow old, and their feet didn’t swell.

and behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead. I alone have escaped to tell you.”

The old lion perishes for lack of prey. The cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad.

His strength will be famished. Calamity will be ready at his side.

Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

lest they tear apart my soul like a lion, ripping it in pieces, while there is no one to deliver.

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.

The eyes of all wait for you. You give them their food in due season.

He provides food for the livestock, and for the young ravens when they call.

Men don’t despise a thief if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry;

For Yahweh says to me, “As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for their noise, so Yahweh of Armies will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

he will dwell on high. His place of defense will be the fortress of rocks. His bread will be supplied. His waters will be sure.

The animals of the field, the jackals and the ostriches, shall honor me, because I give water in the wilderness and rivers in the desert, to give drink to my people, my chosen,

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed;

A lion has gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations. He is on his way. He has gone out from his place, to make your land desolate, that your cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.

They will roar together like young lions. They will growl as lions’ cubs.

and say, ‘What was your mother? A lioness. She couched among lions, in the middle of the young lions she nourished her cubs.

They will walk after Yahweh, who will roar like a lion; for he will roar, and the children will come trembling from the west.

How the animals groan! The herds of livestock are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

Don’t be afraid, you animals of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness spring up, for the tree bears its fruit. The fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

Will a lion roar in the thicket, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out of his den, if he has caught nothing?

But the Lord stood by me and strengthened me, that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear. So I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.

Even the youths faint and get weary, and the young men utterly fall;
