Psalms 136:25

Let’s not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up.

Yet he didn’t leave himself without witness, in that he did good and gave you rains from the sky and fruitful seasons, filling our hearts with food and gladness.”

Every moving thing that lives will be food for you. As I gave you the green herb, I have given everything to you.

I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

As for the earth, out of it comes bread; Underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

For by these he judges the people. He gives food in abundance.

Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

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

God sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.

Yahweh executes righteous acts, and justice for all who are oppressed.

These all wait for you, that you may give them their food in due season.

Surely the mountains produce food for him, where all the animals of the field play.

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

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may give thanks to your name. The righteous will surround me, for you will be good to me.

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

The Lord Yahweh’s Spirit is on me, because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to those who are bound,

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?

God said, “Let the earth yield grass, herbs yielding seeds, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with their seeds in it, on the earth;” and it was so.

God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.

It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field.

You shall drink from the brook. I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.”

to hear the groans of the prisoner; to free those who are condemned to death;

He causes the grass to grow for the livestock, and plants for man to cultivate, that he may produce food out of the earth:

There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,

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.

“I have compassion on the multitude, because they have stayed with me now three days, and have nothing to eat.

He isn’t served by men’s hands, as though he needed anything, seeing he himself gives to all life and breath, and all things.

‘For in him we live, move, and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also his offspring.’

For it is written in the law of Moses, “You shall not muzzle an ox while it treads out the grain.” Is it for the oxen that God cares,

To every animal of the earth, and to every bird of the sky, and to everything that creeps on the earth, in which there is life, I have given every green herb for food;” and it was so.

No plant of the field was yet in the earth, and no herb of the field had yet sprung up; for Yahweh God had not caused it to rain on the earth. There was not a man to till the ground,

Out of the ground Yahweh God made every tree to grow that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food, including the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

From now on, when you till the ground, it won’t yield its strength to you. You will be a fugitive and a wanderer in the earth.”

Take with you some of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it will be for food for you, and for them.”

and he sent out a raven. It went back and forth, until the waters were dried up from the earth.

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.

who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with venomous snakes and scorpions, and thirsty ground where there was no water; who poured water for you out of the rock of flint;

As they fled from before Israel, while they were at the descent of Beth Horon, Yahweh hurled down great stones from the sky on them to Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than those whom the children of Israel killed with the sword.

Those who strive with Yahweh shall be broken to pieces. He will thunder against them in the sky. “Yahweh will judge the ends of the earth. He will give strength to his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.”

As Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines came near to battle against Israel; but Yahweh thundered with a great thunder on that day on the Philistines, and confused them; and they were struck down before Israel.

So Samuel called to Yahweh; and Yahweh sent thunder and rain that day. Then all the people greatly feared Yahweh and Samuel.

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.”

Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?

which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, to cause the tender grass to grow?

“See now, behemoth, which I made as well as you. He eats grass as an ox.

Yahweh has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands.

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.

“Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says Yahweh; “I will set him in safety from those who malign him.”

Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

For every animal of the forest is mine, and the livestock on a thousand hills.

I know all the birds of the mountains. The wild animals of the field are mine.

He will judge the poor of the people. He will save the children of the needy, and will break the oppressor in pieces.

The birds of the sky nest by them. They sing among the branches.

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

Yahweh is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works.

who executes justice for the oppressed; who gives food to the hungry. Yahweh frees the prisoners.

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

The hay is removed, and the new growth appears, the grasses of the hills are gathered in.

For the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as in the day of Midian.

I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people will be satisfied with my goodness,” says Yahweh.

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.

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?”

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

They ate and were all filled. They gathered up twelve baskets of broken pieces that were left over.

“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two assaria coins? Not one of them is forgotten by God.

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!

Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone’s bonds were loosened.

One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables.

So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.

But God gives it a body even as it pleased him, and to each seed a body of its own.
