My heart is afflicted, withered like grass;
I even forget to eat my food.

My days are like a lengthening shadow,

He causes grass to grow for the livestock
and provides crops for man to cultivate,
producing food from the earth,

Our fathers in Egypt did not grasp
the significance of Your wonderful works
or remember Your many acts of faithful love;
instead, they rebelled by the sea—the Red Sea.

They exchanged their glory
for the image of a grass-eating ox.

Let them be like grass on the rooftops,
which withers before it grows up

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes straw
and as dry grass shrivels in the flame,
so their roots will become like something rotten
and their blossoms will blow away like dust,
for they have rejected
the instruction of the Lord of Hosts,
and they have despised
the word of the Holy One of Israel.

The waters of Nimrim are desolate;
the grass is withered, the foliage is gone,

Because of the evil of its residents,
animals and birds have been swept away,
for the people have said,
“He cannot see what our end will be.”

Even the doe in the field
gives birth and abandons her fawn
since there is no grass.

They grasp bow and javelin.

Let him be drenched with dew from the sky, and share food with the wild animals for seven periods of time.’

At that moment the sentence against Nebuchadnezzar was executed. He was driven away from people. He ate grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with dew from the sky, until his hair grew like eagles’ feathers and his nails like birds’ claws.

He was driven away from people, his mind was like an animal’s, he lived with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with dew from the sky until he acknowledged that the Most High God is ruler over the kingdom of men and sets anyone He wants over it.

Then the remnant of Jacob
