'Vegetation' in the Bible

Then God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees on the earth bearing fruit after their kind with seed in them”; and it was so.

The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit with seed in them, after their kind; and God saw that it was good.

‘Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength,They were dismayed and put to shame;They were as the vegetation of the field and as the green herb,As grass on the housetops is scorched before it is grown up.

May there be abundance of grain in the earth on top of the mountains;Its fruit will wave like the cedars of Lebanon;And may those from the city flourish like vegetation of the earth.

He causes the grass to grow for the cattle,And vegetation for the labor of man,So that he may bring forth food from the earth,

And ate up all vegetation in their land,And ate up the fruit of their ground.

“Therefore their inhabitants were short of strength,They were dismayed and put to shame;They were as the vegetation of the field and as the green herb,As grass on the housetops is scorched before it is grown up.

“I will lay waste the mountains and hillsAnd wither all their vegetation;I will make the rivers into coastlandsAnd dry up the ponds.

How long is the land to mournAnd the vegetation of the countryside to wither?For the wickedness of those who dwell in it,Animals and birds have been snatched away,Because men have said, “He will not see our latter ending.”

“The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights;They pant for air like jackals,Their eyes failFor there is no vegetation.

And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said,“Lord God, please pardon!How can Jacob stand,For he is small?”

Then the remnant of JacobWill be among many peoplesLike dew from the Lord,Like showers on vegetationWhich do not wait for manOr delay for the sons of men.

Ask rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain—The Lord who makes the storm clouds;And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man.
