“How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.”
The lamentation that the herds of cattle wander confused and the flocks of sheep suffer because there is no pasture indicates that the livestock, which depend on the agricultural products destroyed by the plague, will also perish. The animation of animal suffering suggests empathetic response to creation's distress. This verse extends the consequences of agricultural judgment to include livestock.
