And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them.

These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
