'Wilderness' in the Bible

To You, O Lord, I cry;For fire has devoured the pastures of the wildernessAnd the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.

Even the beasts of the field pant for You;For the water brooks are dried upAnd fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

A fire consumes before themAnd behind them a flame burns.The land is like the garden of Eden before themBut a desolate wilderness behind them,And nothing at all escapes them.

Do not fear, beasts of the field,For the pastures of the wilderness have turned green,For the tree has borne its fruit,The fig tree and the vine have yielded in full.

Egypt will become a waste,And Edom will become a desolate wilderness,Because of the violence done to the sons of Judah,In whose land they have shed innocent blood.
